One of the books that picked for my poetry genre was "This Missing Piece" by Shel Silverstein. I used to read books by Silverstein when I was in the 6th grade. My friend had "Where the Side Walk Ends" we loved to read the poems out of that books. His poems are fun and creative for children, which is why they love them so much. As I was looking up information about him I came across his website. It is sooo much fun, it would be great to use in the classroom when you are studying poetry. As soon as you hit the enter button you are taken into the world of Siverstein, where shoes can walk without legs and a head can have a wheel for a body! I loved exploring his website. I also found so you tube videos that would be a great way to incorporate technology into your lesson. Silverstein is a beloved children's author and is one that I will have in my own classroom! I hope you enjoy the web links!
