Today's lesson involved a "poetry sort." The kids in my classes were given a collection of action poems written by former students. The task was to read all of them, select a couple, and answer questions about them. The next step was to brainstorm lists of 20 of possible topics for their own action poems.
Here's the part I loved-- in every class, without exception, several students asked if they could keep the copies of the model poems because they liked them so much.
That's validation!
