Home - LibGuides at Fort Lewis College How Not to Cite an Image As I do every year, I am taking this week to relax, recharge, and ski with friends. While I'm away I will be re-running the most popular posts of the year. This was the most popular post in April, 2014. This morning one of my Facebook friends posted one of those "ten signs you're from..." (Yes, you can use this screenshot if you want to share it with your students).

Your Students Should Be Writing to Authors You work hard to make sure your students are passionate readers. You make sure high-quality books line the shelves of your classroom library, even when they cost more than your monthly paycheck. So when you see a student who seems to have fallen in love with an author, it kind of takes your breath away, right? Enter the letter to an author. Writers can change a person’s worldview. They take intangible things, like words and grammar, and build entire worlds. Social media is such a constant presence that it can be easier and quicker to just send a tweet to your favorite author or Instagram a photo of you with their book in hand. Recently I read a book put out by Candlewick Press called Journeys: Young Readers’ Letters to Authors Who Changed Their Lives. Here’s an excerpt from one letter sprung from The Lions of Little Rock: “Dear Kristin Levine, … I am black. Help your students connect to the writers that open up new spaces for them. Tell them their voice matters.

Dig Deeper Into Poetry With Close Reads Over the past few weeks my students have been studying the poetry genre. My third graders have truly loved reading and writing poems. They quickly anointed authors like Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky, who entertained them with hilarious prose, as their favorite poets of all time. I was thrilled that a few days into this unit students began arriving at school each morning with poetry books, pages bookmarked, asking if they could share a few poems with the class. While they were loving poetry and reading it voraciously, I realized my students were only just scratching the surface — looking for funny content without truly understanding a poem’s meaning or the poet’s message. Getting Started — Not Quite as Easy as I Thought My students are familiar with close-reading strategies. Trying to apply the close-reading strategies I use with fiction and nonfiction text to poetry was a lot like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Modeling On Their Own Success! Try It Out!
