Thanks Bill ... I just spent about an hour on YouTube getting to know Taylor Mali's work a little better. What an inspiration! Sally K. Caruso [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Kickemuit Middle School 525 Child St. Warren RI 02885 401-245-2010 X2233

Taylor Mali (a poet whom some of you may remember from the video of his slam poem, "What Teachers Make"which made the rounds a few years back) spoke at my wife's school tonight. They loved him, and Martha inspired me to look him back up on YouTube. Here's one I enjoyed which is also middle school friendly (many of his poems do include the, as he termed it, "requisite swear word" or two. Or more.): "Speak With Conviction." I wanted to share it with you all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmLE2bliXCI&feature=related Take care, Bill Ivey Stoneleigh-Burnham School _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org <http://www.literacyworkshop.org/> To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
