| poem to teacher from parent: Poems are Teachers Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, 2017-10-06 Children's writer and poet Amy Ludwig VanDerwater leads us on an adventure through poetry, pointing out craft elements along the way that students can use to improve all their writing, from idea finding to language play. Poems wake us up, keep us company, and remind us that our world is big and small, Amy explains. And, too, poems teach us how to write. Anything. This is a practical book designed for every classroom teacher. Each lesson exploration includes three poems, one by a contemporary adult poet and two by students in grades 2 through 8, which serve as models to illustrate how poetry teaches writers to: find ideas, choose perspective and point of view, structure texts, play with language, craft beginnings and endings, choose titles. Students will learn how to replicate the craft techniques found in poetry to strengthen all writing, from fiction to opinion, from personal narrative to information. Poets arrange words and phrases just as prose writers do, simply in tighter spaces, Amy argues. In the tight space of poetry, readers can identify writing techniques after reading one page, not thirty pages. |

Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be. Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way.

Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven! Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it! Immediately! --Judith Viorst, bestselling author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day |
