Please pray for me that I can afford to get on the plane. I fear my suitcase will be overweight!!! I tried not to buy anything, but I succumbed. It is way too hard at IRA to avoid books.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090793750354303925.post-32865367733594943582012-05-01T21:49:01.213-07:002012-05-01T21:49:01.213-07:00Hi Melinda,

Like the pervading flavor of a pungent spice, poetry makes everything better. At least to me. <br />I have so much to share from IRA. You will get some tips from me soon. Regie Routman was fantastic. I found out some new and very interesting ideas. One in particular uses a structured intervention using art and visual thinking before writing. The work is breath-taking. However it works for all kids and I think defintely something to look into. The strong research results are absolutely amazing. It is the work of Beth Olshansky from U NH. I am sold!! <br />Kelly Gallagher was good on mentor texts for HS kids and writing. Got to hear Marilyn Singer, Jane Yolen and J. Pat Lewis read poems and talk about poetry. Sylvia Vardell was a masterful emcee/moderator. I won the "big kahuna" doorprize, an autograhped copy of J. Pat and Jane's new poetry book. Not sure it is out for sale yet. I knew the names of the US Children's Poet Laureates. Only one at the Olio who did. So that was quite nice.<br />I will be checking in to see what you may be up to next. I hope you will keep on writing poems!! Maybe you should try Amy's Poetry Hike. Who says poetry deserves only one month? <br />Janet F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090793750354303925.post-76264745826158988182012-04-30T18:33:40.208-07:002012-04-30T18:33:40.208-07:00What a perfect image.

Kudos and congratulations on completing the month. I am taking a week off! a.Amy LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625469276544426664noreply@blogger.com
