*poetic devices (metaphors, rhythm, sensory detail)
*poetic structure (meter, iambic foot)
*creative writing
*reading skills (accented syllables, unaccented syllables)
*rules of grammar (capitalization, punctuation)
*enrichment opportunities

These poems are copy ready and, thus, may be added to your students' poetry anthologies. The range of reading levels in these poems makes them appropriate for all intermediate classrooms.

My kids love poetry and we add poems weekly to their poetry folder. This integrated well into our study of MLK in January.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Grades Taught:
Subject Area:
For more than 3 decades, I have taught everything from K to 5, G/T to Reading Recovery, and enrichment to Title I. It was my privilege to develop & co-author a district model for gifted/talented education for 2 districts and to develop & implement a system for mentoring young gifted children with experts in their areas of interest. As an education specialist at the U of IL, I developed differentiated curriculum and evaluation tools for gifted students and lectured graduate classes in G/T. Additionally, I have guest lectured at the local community college and IL State Univ. Reading Recovery training, while rigorous and demanding, has improved every aspect of my teaching. The training has made me a better observer and problem solver. The richness of my experiences allows me to be a versatile and expansive developer of curricula.
