Pocket poems is a book about, well, poems! This P book was selected by Bobbi Katz and illustrated by Marylin Hafner. This book is very interesting. You can pick out a poem at random and read it aloud to the class which is why I think this book would be an amazing RA book. #LAE3414sp19

LaGasseSam1996 This book would work well with UDL 2.1. This book has a lot of different poems inside it that cover a range of words. For example, if the word ‘trudge‘ is a vocabulary word you could read the poem “Call Me Polar Bear” in the book. 5y
LaGasseSam1996 ESOL 11 would work well in this context. The poems in this book give meaning to the text. Most of these poems are short so the words that are being used are there for their importance. 5y
LaGasseSam1996 http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/calendar-activities/participat... I think this lesson plan would be great to use with both ESOL and English speaking students. The students creating their own poems would allow them to select the words and make those words have meaning in their context. 5y
DrSpalding I like the idea of having children walk around with poems in their pockets. You could have them share their poems while waiting in line for specials, lunch, recess… Your use of high-quality resources is appreciated. Keep using RWT! 5y
