Chapters 5 & 6

Just as you learn through blogging, so do I. I have falsely believed if I didn't "direct" this blog w/a question, then there would be no depth of learning. Or perhaps I blogged to you in question format b/c this is the way I had always seen modeled? Anyway, the depth of the learning in the blogs for chapters 3 & 4 were really deep and exactly what I had been trying to do when I simply said blog about what you learned. You impressed me and inspired me.

Chapter 5 discusses schema; Chapter 6 talks about creating mental images. I loved the idea of the students doing a coffeehouse poetry reading (in May perhaps????). This really appeals to the beatnik in me! Of course, the anchor lessons, the books Miller suggests, ah! the myriad of ideas. . ..what do you want to blog about in these chapters???

Chapters 3 & 4

Reader's Workshop and Settling In discuss a myriad of great ideas. What do you want to blog about this time (from the text)?
