Spoken Into Written Word

(In-Schools Program)

Apr 7,2011, 10:15 AM - 12:10 PM @ James Lick Middle School
Hello Tutors!

For this project (a published book with one poem from each student), we'd like our students to choose their favorite piece from the year of writing that they've done and refine it. The pieces they are bringing in were done from several different prompts. So, we'd like for the tutors to focus on:

1) Helping the student identify what the PURPOSE or TOPIC or THEME of their poem is;

2) Adding to the poem to help develop that purpose, topic, or theme;

3) Revising the poem to help develop that purpose, topic, or theme; and

4) WRITING A SHORT INTRODUCTION. (This would be something like: My name is ___________ and this poem is about/ I wrote this poem because...)

Thanks so much for your help with these projects!
