I have been playing around with writing poetry in different forms for April. Not sure I can pull it off though.

It has already given me classroom material to work with. Reading and commenting on the work of others is always so rewarding as well; it's a great learning experience. <br /><br />I like experimenting with forms because it makes this experience about play. Maybe my poem will turn out, maybe not. But the wordplay and the attempt is satisfying enough. <br /><br />Your ideas for venturing out are exactly what we need to encourage in student writers. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-66025645147890291562013-03-13T21:44:14.645-05:002013-03-13T21:44:14.645-05:00I keep a folder of photos & bookmark ideas.

Though most of my sound recordings are more like moments in time I happened to record (rather than a true podcast), I'm having fun with it. I never would've done this without the nudge, especially since I don't love the sound of my voice!Staceyhttp://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-76935134210256814832013-03-13T19:50:49.341-05:002013-03-13T19:50:49.341-05:00I collect those little seed ideas and keep them in...I collect those little seed ideas and keep them in a "greenhouse" (aka Google Docs) unitl I get a chance to go back and water them, nurture them, fertilize them. Finally I share what has bloomed on my blog. Every part of this experience is a stretch for me. I can't believe how much I have learned from reading all of these fantastic posts and fellow bloggers---I mean these folks are literacy experts, instructional coaches, professional development leaders, professional authors -how could I not glean knowledge from them everyday! crouchmammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794844260501124146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-55605188897511685822013-03-13T19:01:33.517-05:002013-03-13T19:01:33.517-05:00Exactly my thoughts!

I like the lists, they are easy to compile. I've tried my hand at poetry and it was okay, but I didn't feel that I had the flow of words. I like to reflect on what has/is happening in my life and share what goes on in my world. Great questions and thoughts (once again).

When I found out I had skin cancer last year, I started to write short memoir pieces. An on-line diary for my kids. The cancer was contained. But it was a wake-up call to write, and not just talk about writing. PAMELA HODGEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834410745679219203noreply@blogger.com
