Description: What's Inside? by Laura Purdie Salas, Ed Spicer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "What does this poem mean?" "How should I read it?" "How do we talk about it?" "What do I DO with it?" "Whats the best way to assess it?" "How do I meet standards?" "When can I possibly fit it into my already over-packed day?" Have you ever asked these questions about poetry? The 30 Painless Classroom Poems series makes it easy for you, the elementary school teacher, media specialist, or reading specialist, to share poetry with your students. Whether you already love poetry or you fear or even actively dislike it, these books are for you. The poems, Notes from the Poet, extension activities written by experienced classroom teachers, and tips for using poetry in your classroom will have you sharing poems in no time. In Whats Inside? Poems to Explore the Park, award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of BookSpeak!, Water Can Be..., and more) offers up fifteen couplets asking students "whats inside" some common objects at the park. Fifteen answering quatrains reveal the details of each items interior or potential. Vivid language and rich nonfiction content-along with a sense of wonder and a dash of humor-make these poems engaging and accessible. Extension activities by teacher Ed Spicer share ideas for spring-boarding from these poems into deeper learning across many content areas. Sample: Ninth-Inning Win (answering poem to the whats inside a baseball couplet) A bulls-eye of cork helps you punish fast pitches- and rubber and yarn add some bounce from within all tucked below zippers of tight ruby stitches This ball holds a breathtaking ninth-inning win! A Note from the Poet: Did you know that every Major League Baseball has 108 stitches? I love those little lines of red. They remind me of zippers, so I called them that, even though you cant unzip them. And I used ruby instead of red for two reasons: 1) the line sounded better with two syllables there instead of one; and 2) since a ruby is a jewel, it makes me think of something valuable and important, not just everyday stuff like red.

Her three big sisters taught her to read when she was 4, and she read constantly, ignoring orders from her parents to "Go outside and get some fresh air!" She grew up in Florida and heard these dreaded words year round. When forced outside, she climbed up to her treehouse or lay on the trampoline, reading. Books were magic, and it never occurred to her that real people actually wrote them. Today, Laura is thrilled to be part of creating that magic for todays kids. She has written more than 120 books for kids and teens, including Water Can Be... (Millbrook, 2014), A Leaf Can Be... (Millbrook, 2012: Bank Street Best Books, IRA Teachers Choice, Minnesota Book Award Finalist, Riverby Award for Nature Books for Young Readers, and more), and BookSpeak! Poems About Books (Clarion/HMH, 2011: Minnesota Book Award, NCTE Notable, Bank Street Best Books, Eureka! Gold Medal, and more). She loves to visit with students and teachers to share her joy in poetry, books, and language. She is also the author of several how-to poetry books for kids, including Picture Yourself Writing Poetry (Capstone, 2011) and Write Your Own Poetry (Compass Point, 2008). Laura and her family live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where its just a touch cooler than Florida!
