Download or read book Read my Mind written by Fred Sedgwick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, Sedgwick's latest book, he aims to help all those involved with children and their learning through poem-writing improve their practice. He argues that through poetry, children can learn about the whole curriculum, including history and science. The book begins with an introduction outlining the importance of poetry, and defining it. It discusses poetry in terms of children's learning and the imagination. Case studies are used to show how children learn about themselves - first, their bodies, and second, their thoughts and emotions - through the writing of poetry. Using many examples of childrens work he considers how children learn about their environment and the relationship between themselves and their environment. Finally, he discusses his techniques for getting children to write and provides recommendations for further reading. Fred Sedgwick is a freelance lecturer and writer specialising in children's writing, art and personal, social and moral education and has been described as 'the nearest thing I've seen to the Pied Piper'. Previously a headteacher in primary schools for 16 years, he has published books of poetry for both children and adults.
Download or read book Behind the Poem written by Robert Hull and published by Routledge Revivals. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1988, this book is a teacher's eye view of how children come to write and rewrite poems, and of how they make aesthetic choices in their writing. Drawing on over twenty years' experience of teaching poetry in primary and secondary schools, Robert Hull presents a detailed account of the process of writing poetry in the classroom. The reader is invited, almost in confidence, to be witness to a skilled teacher's planning, recognition, and definition of children's emergent understanding and expertise. The author adopts a non-behaviourist model which stresses difficulty and uncertainty, rejecting a simplistic assumption of linear progression, predictability of outcome, and short-term results. The many examples of poems written by the children demonstrate in a very vivid and impressive way the value of this approach. All teachers, not just of poetry, will find this a fascinating and informed study, and an inspiration for their own work in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller featured on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon! B. J. 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

Book Synopsis Rilke in Paris by : Rainer Maria Rilke
Download or read book Rilke in Paris written by Rainer Maria Rilke and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902, the young German writer Rainer Maria Rilke travelled to Paris to write a monograph on the sculptor Auguste Rodin. He returned to the city many times over the course of his life, by turns inspired and appalled by the high culture and low society. Paris was a lifelong source of inspiration for Rilke. Perhaps most significantly, the letters he wrote about it formed the basis of his prose masterpiece, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. This volume brings together a new translation of RilkeOCOs essay on poetry, Notes on the Melody of Things, and the first English translation of RilkeOCOs experiences in Paris as observed by his French translator, Maurice Betz.

I was so impressed by the results of the assignment that I felt the poems needed to be preserved in a bound document. Thus, this little book.

I am proud that they were my students and I am very proud that together we produced this record of contemporary Appalachian Life" -- Silas House

Book Synopsis Poems and Poetry for Children by : Peter B Messmore
Download or read book Poems and Poetry for Children written by Peter B Messmore and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young children love poetry. They revel in its freedom and its capacity to express feelings. They laugh unabashedly at silly poems. A group of children hearing a good poem display a natural attentiveness that is almost impossible for an adult to create. Their eyes grow larger with expectation as the poem develops. During my 25 years of teaching elementary age children, I have never had classroom discipline problems during the reading of an age and grade appropriate poem. The phenomenon seems universal. Something magical happens when a good poem opens children's emerging minds to poetic expression.The intent of this book is to expose children to one form of writing poetry. That form is end-of-line, rhyming poetry. Children as young as kindergarten age understand when simple words rhyme. They love the meter and rhythm of poems that touch their lives.But reading poetry to children and teaching them to begin writing it is almost non-existent in most elementary school classrooms. It is not surprising that children, especially boys, have little appreciation of poetry and the joy it can bring.This book has two goals, presented in two sections: (1). Section one contains 40 original poems written by the book's author. Each poem category had been carefully researched to insure that it is developmentally appropriate. Toward this end, the first 2 poems in each 10 poem category are written for primary age children (grades k-3). The remaining 2 poems in each 10 poem category are written for intermediate age children (grades 4-6). The ten poem categories are: * Silly Poems* Happy Poems* Sad Poems* Wondering Poems* Body Poems* Mom and Dad Poems* Animal PoemsSchool Subject Poems *Science Poems * Mathematics Poems * Social Studies Poems(2) The second section of the book features a guide to help parents, grandparents, and teachers teach elementary age children how to begin writing simple, end-of-line, rhyming poetry. It features three easy steps that any parent, grandparent, or teacher can use to introduce their child or children how to write rhyming poetry. These steps have been field tested in a variety of elementary schools by the author and have proved to be effective in introducing children to poetry writing.
