ISE Grade 3 2013-2014: Love That Dog
http://isemsterje.blogspot.com/2014/05/love-that-dog.html
ISE Grade 3 2013-2014. Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Every day this week we read and discuss this novel in verse - a whole story in a poem form. I read a section, the students reread and write noticings, questions and thoughts, and then we practice with partners and as a whole class how to have a discussion. A boy Jack doesn't understand nor likes to write poems. At school he stll has to do it. He uses other poets as mentors to write poems, but is not willing to write his name when the poem is published.

ISE Grade 3 2013-2014: Collective poetry
http://isemsterje.blogspot.com/2014/05/collective-poetry.html
ISE Grade 3 2013-2014. Thursday, May 1, 2014. On Tuesday we read a beautiful poem "Valentine for Ernest Mann" by Naomi Shihab Nye. I was a bit worried it might pose a challenge for students to understand the poem, and some of it was confusing for them, but through a discusdion they were able to see the big idea. The poem includes lines:. Poems hide. In the bottom of our shoes,. They are sleeping. . If you want to write a poem. Keep your eyes open. Carry your notebook with you. Think what to write about.
