In my next post, I describe such a situation. The student thought <i>grass</i> would make more sense than <i>hay</i> in Tennyson's "The Owl". We studied the last words in each line and that helped her see why he chose one word over the other. I think the ideal situation is to answer questions as they come up for younger children. We do have some seventh graders which is why we introduce a mechanic for poems that illustrate it well. However, we have not delved into great detail. Just a little here and there.<br /><br />Poetry on pockets!

My , wish I could bring the Emily doll Carla Stout made for me last year. She has poetry on her pockets! ON facebook from last June or May. God cares for every detail in all we do. Same things happened today reading a short story with my high school students.

I have only shared poetry with my children -- memorized or read aloud. We haven't learn anything about mechanics, beyond rhyme, which they noticed themselves. I have begun to think something is missing. Help? :)Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.com
