Book Spine Poetry

Today Katie Keier at Catching Readers Before They Fall inspired me to try the book spine found poetry idea suggested on the Stenhouse bolg a few weeks ago. As I stood in front of my bookcase, it was amazing to think of all the combinations I could make. I decided to find two - one to reflect the reading work I do with students and one to reflect my writing work. I think it would also be fun to try this activity with children's books. I wonder what combinations of ideas kids would come up with? It might be a great end of the year activity!
Look on your bookshelf - poetry is everywhere!
