Personally, I think the book is geared towards middle school and higher. You
would probably need to modify a lot of the lessons to work for your grade
levels. Plus, a lot of the examples would be too high/difficult. So, not sure
if this is the right book for you.

Sent from my
reflections. This part is great to use in the classroom and
will be referring to this part a lot.
This book couldn't have come at a better time. I want to do more poetry in my
classroom. It is time for the moans and groans to become Ooohs and Aaahs.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am looking for some ideas on how to introduce 6th graders to persuasive
writing. I have their final prompt ready but need ideas on how to
introduce/teach this type of writing. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I really appreciate it. I will look for the
mentor texts and articles as well as check out the readwritethink website.

I am looking to hook the students at the beginning of the year with an awesome
read aloud. In the past, I have used Freak the Mighty and have had excellent
results. I was looking for something else...maybe more in the style of The
Hunger Games. Any suggestions? What have you used that
Brenda,
I was hoping to get more info on your class projects like the Haiti Relay for
Life ones you did. How did you go about getting something started with those?
What did you do for them? I would love to do something with my 6th graders but
don't know where to start.
Thanks.
