Looking forward to seeing you at this session on Poetry T.I.M.E. where we'll talk about ways to use poetry to meet COMMON CORE ELA STANDARDS.  I'll post more following the conference.  See you there?

Dear Colleagues,

Kattie Hogan was scheduled to present at this year's conference but is now unable to join us. Her session was "If You Really Knew About My Life... Using Mentor Texts with At-Risk and Special Education Students to Increase Literacy Engagement." Instead, she shared her session materials with me to share with you. :) JSC

I appreciate the enthusiastic response from those who attended Poetry T.I.M.E.  Here are the handouts we used as we applied the strategies presented.

So  sorry the Cornucopia Books sold out of my book before some of you arrived.  You'll find links to purchase your copy at Cornucopia and on my website.

Attached is information from the session presented by Ron Garrett, PhD, and Linda Goossen, PhD.

This is an additional note from the presenters:

"An important part of creative problem solving is that one must defer judgment on new ideas and just let them linger in one’s brain a while.  One way to foster this kind of thinking where expectations, at least for a short while, are lowered.  This can be accomplished by becoming more playful.  A short video accessible from youtube.com about approaching idea generation in more "playful" ways is available at:

This video was designed to set the mood for brainstorming and for class discussions about divergent thinking."
