For this unit, I have selected Mirror, Mirror, Bookspeak!,
and Diamond Willow. Mirror, Mirror will appeal to fairy tale
lovers, and it will introduce you to a new form of poetry. Bookspeak! will call to anyone who loves books. Diamond Willow is a novel in verse, but
not what people probably think of when they hear the word “poem.” It may be
something a little outside the box for middle grade students who swear they don’t
like poetry.
Here’s one I made up to get you started, haiku-style:
Read some poetry
Images wash over you
A new way to see
Happy reading!
