Description: Whispering in the Wind by Linda Rief Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The cure for "I hate poetry!" Your students (and maybe even you) might cringe at the word poetry. For many, poetry feels like finding the hidden meaning the poet worked so hard to hide from the reader. If poetry confuses your students, theyre likely to avoid it altogether. In Whispering in the Wind, master educator Linda Rief provides a cure for poetry agony. She introduces "Heart Books," a project inspired by the Heart Maps of Georgia Heard. Linda has used Heart Books throughout her teaching career to help students read more poetry, connect with it, and see how they, too, could write poetically. Help students find (and respond to) poetry theyll love Linda explains how to create and use Heart Books in any classroom by: helping students discover poets who surprise and delight themusing Heart Books as a pathway to find poetry that rings true for each studentencouraging students to deepen their understanding of themselves, and othersteaching students to respond to poetry with an authentic voice How do you squeeze one more unit into your curriculum? This is not a book about teaching a standalone poetry unit. Instead, youll learn how to use transition times for this learning--all those in-between times throughout the year, such as right before a new unit, and leading up to, or returning from, vacations or holidays. Linda believes this is work worth doing in any classroom because "poetry is what whispers in the wind, guiding us toward deeper reading and a heightened awareness of what makes compelling writing." Author Biography Linda Rief left the classroom in June of 2019 after 40 years of teaching Language Arts with eighth graders. She misses their energy and their apathy, their curiosity and their complacency, their confidence and their insecurities. But mostly, she misses their passionate, powerful voices as writers and readers.

In 2021 she was honored with the Distinguished Service Award from NCTE and in 2020 received the Kent Williamson Exemplary Leader Award from the Conference on English Leadership, in recognition of outstanding leadership in the English Language Arts.
