[LM_NET] Book Spine Poetry

["Brown, Judy" <jbrown@CALDWELL.K12.OH.US>]

I passed this idea along to our 7th grade LA teacher and she was excited to try it. 
 It was almost win-win:
1.  The kids actually enjoyed the activity. (it's not alwayseasy to inspire 7th 
graders)
2.  The teacher thought it was a perfect way to kick off a poetry unit.
3.  The creativity shown was very good.
4.  I got lots of thanks for the suggestion.

The only negative was that the library was a total wreck by the time the last class 
built their poems.  But that's a small price to pay for all the positives.

Thanks, LM_NET for all the wonderful things you share with the rest of us to make 
our jobs easier and more fun.
