Poetry Workbook - Original Poems
Student workbook pages to create original works by each student in a variety of styles. Includes a cover and a vocabulary page with instructions on writing. Most workbook pages give directions on how to write a specific style of poem with an example included. The bio-poem is the exception as the format is so lengthy. The final page offers students the opportunity to create a poem in their favorite style.

Halloween Acrostic and October Word Bank
The Halloween Word Bank Book was developed with second language learners in mind. The words are in the same order as the letters in the Halloween acrostic to help students transfer the words directly to the poem template that is included. The booklet has directions for two options (copying or adding to) depending on the students wants and/or needs. I use it with my emerging through developing WIDA students. The October Word and Phrases Bank is beneficial to all students.

Interesting Me . . .
Get to know your students on the first day of school. This interest inventory helps you learn about their interests for possible motivation and background knowledge. It also lets you know what resources are available at home as well as a preview of writing ability and attention to detail - if they can draw in detail, it helps them to write in detail.

Experience

Teaching style
I believe students learn best through guided discovery used often in small groups or partnerships where they are able to discuss and question their own understanding. Being able to talk with their peers before sharing their ideas and own understanding gives all students the opportunity to process what they are learning, change perspectives, and grow their understanding and confidence. Every classroom should be a safe place to make mistakes, so that mistakes become normalized and turned into a means to grow and shine.
