The Take5! question helped to guide the discussion,then the kids really opened up and let their opinions be known. Some of the them shared a similar experience and that led to even more conversation about the boundaries of friendship!

I think they relate to shorter pieces because of the whole face-paced texting world we live in!

I truly appreciate your feedback. You made my day! I pasted your comment here so I can look back at it when I need a reminder to keep trying. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful anthology!<br /><br />Linda: I think you managed to write an emerging classic "21st century poem" with "Slience"! To me it has the feel of Langston Hughes's "Poem" and William Carlos Williams's "This Is Just to Say." Your topic--friendship and cell phones--is such a terrific writing prompt. And thanks for highlighting the way that you used the "Take 5!" teaching tips! <br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786457482835741494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-45388252086761411042013-08-09T21:49:18.473-07:002013-08-09T21:49:18.473-07:00This poem and your lesson are such a perfect way t...This poem and your lesson are such a perfect way to connect with students whose main mode of communication is texting.

How does one deal with these sticky friend issues? Talking about such "what ifs" could be a way of avoiding bullying issues in school (especially with middle schoolers).Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-70780273249865303682013-08-09T18:13:15.639-07:002013-08-09T18:13:15.639-07:00What a wonderful and fruitful exercise!

I have the anthology and find it so rich that it's hard to figure out what I want to use. Your direction will help me.
