Another area to talk about is ED's seasonal disorder affliction. There was an article in <i>Time or Newsweek</i> a couple of years ago that was short and would pique considerable interest. You might try and find the article.

Debra, I would love to have whatever list you are using. Harlem Renaissance sounds great for the end of the year, too. I think if you go to my profile you can send me a message to my inbox and attach it. Ryan, is this correct?

I have now - looked at the website, applied - and it's awesome! This just might work. I might even get a performance aspect to it if they have to do the audio for the poem. Thanks so much.

I have used the poetry tournament every year with my sophomores, but we have used song lyrics with it. (Several years ago, I had my literary magazine kids bring in songs that they thought were poems and I added some.) For each seed, they have to find five poetic devices that we've learned about. After they finish the tournament, we talk about what makes a good poem. In other words, how did you choose which poem you liked better? Here we discuss imagery, theme, language, etc. I keep thinking I…
I have used the poetry tournament every year with my sophomores, but we have used song lyrics with it.

After they finish the tournament, we talk about what makes a good poem. In other words, how did you choose which poem you liked better? Here we discuss imagery, theme, language, etc. I keep thinking I should step it up and use some more traditional poetry. I would love to see what you use, Debra.<br />

I have to share this video because it gives me chills each time I watch it:<br />

They have more, but most of them are unavailable in the US. I have seen more, and they are incredible, but I have no idea which ones they are. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/poetryseason/" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/poetryseason/</a><br />

I want to do something like this with my students, but I'm not really sure how as our school is, shall we say, lacking in technological resources. We have some really old laptops that are really slow but no video cameras to use. Hmm, powerpoint seems so tired, but it may have to suffice until next year when we get new stuff (Oh, joy!).<br />
<br />
I also would appreciate help on this other project that is cooking in my brain. I would like to use poetry to address our research standards. I was thinking about having them research a songwriter that they like to find out what poets influenced them. Not to dis Aretha Franklin or anyone, but I really hope to get more than Suge Knight lyrics and life story. Suggestions?<br />

I just now realize that this has nothing to do with Walt or Emily. I hope I can be forgiven :). Yeah, copy and paste = cool -…tag:mcpopmb.ning.com,2010-01-06:2665237:Comment:216252010-01-06T19:12:30.440ZRyan Goblehttp://mcpopmb.ning.com/profile/RyanGoble
