Re: [MOSAIC] 'Cool Salsa' poetry book
Cool Salsa is a wonderful book but perhaps some of the poem might be too mature for an elementary setting. Poetry Speaks and its sister volume Poetry Speaks for Children are terrific ways to listen to the poet reading his or her works. On Poetry Speaks you can hear Syliva Plath (scary) as well as Elizabeth Bishop (nearly flat and foreign sounding). I also recommend the listening room link to the Academy of American Poets (poetry.org) as well as Robert Pinsky's Favorite Poem website. On both of those websites it is possible to see the words as well as listen to the poem. Of course on the Favorite Poem website there are also videos of people discussing why a poem is their favorite. In addition the actor John Lithgow is publishign a book Poets corner: The One and Only P9oetry Book for the whole family and in it is a bonus CD and each chapeter contains a website where one might go to for to hear the poet read the work.

Re: [MOSAIC] 'Cool Salsa' poetry book
I just finished reading WRiting SEnse by Juli Kendall and Outey Khuon about writing workshop (using the MOT strategies) with ELLS, and she mentions it there. They suggest using it when teaching visualizing in reading and writing.

Re: [MOSAIC] 'Cool Salsa' poetry book
I used it when I taught in the middle school. It is great! It was one of the most popular books. If I remember correctly, the English version is on one side and the spanish version is on the facing page.

Re: [MOSAIC] 'Cool Salsa' poetry book
I have Cool Salsa.It's a nice little paperback book of poems. Gary Soto is very popular with my middle schoolers. I use it for both reading and writing minilessons in my classroom. I used to have a couple of copies, but they kept disappearing.
