Wednesday’s Site of the Day!
The site today is not the fanciest site but it has some great resources on it for poetry. The initial view is quite deceptive and doesn’t give the impression that there is much happening. And there isn’t. It hasn’t changed since I first saw it two years ago. The resource on it are really good though.
This site has downloads for a “March Madness Poetry” contest. It is set to coincide with the NBA tournament but really could be used anytime. You can download the information in separate portions or download the whole thing in one download. Teh downloads include the directions, an information thing on how to effectively read poems, a set of 64 poems (which I use all the time and includes the great spiderman poem), a tournament bracket layout page and other things. I highly recommend these resources and I have used them for my own Grade 3 poetry unit every year.
While the poetry information takes most of the page, there are also other resources that may be useful including a mystery unit literature study, To Kill A Mockingbird resources, a package on Costa’s questioning and some literature circle information. All in all a handy site though I wish they would continue to add to it.
