[MOSAIC] off topic somewhat

[Shannon Brisson]

Recently in one of my masters classes our professor introduced us to Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. It's a great book for young adolescents written in the form of a student composition notebook. A boy named Jack has to record poetry in his journal for an ELA unit, but he hates poetry. Throughout his entries (which are all poems themselves) you see his writing and his attitudes on poetry evolve. It's fantastic.

Here's the Barnes & Noble link if you're interested:  http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Love-That-Dog/Sharon-Creech/e/9780064409599/?itm=1

> Hello - I am currently adding titles to our leveled library and have a request of you all.  I'd like to add some poetry books for our fourth and fifth graders, especially ones that contain examples of multiple types:  cinquain, limericks, concrete poetry, etc.  Do any of you have suggestions?  Thanks in advance.  Bev
