Hi Melody, Thanks for sharing your poetry information from your children's lit class. I would like to see your list if you would send it to me. I teach children's lit. at Clarke college in Dubuque, Iowa. I have one or two students share a poetry book at the beginning of each class. They prepare a five minute talk about the author or editor or some of the poets if it is an anthology. They also read a few poems and talk about an idea or two for using it with children. I'm always interested in new approaches for my class. Right now I'm working on a new course in YA lit, if you have any great ideas for that area I'd be delighted to hear those too. Thanks, Michele Vosberg mvosberg at mhtc.net

Saturday was the last class for my children's lit class at the Univ. of RI GSLIS. Each student shared a poem from a collection. It made for a delightful 45 minutes. One student who is working in an elementary school library media center was inspired by Bauer's Poetry Break to invite kids to read poems during lunch in the cafeteria. Beyond the thrill of attention and a microphone, students have flocked to the library to sign up for a turn and to hunt through poetry books looking for a poem to read. Of course, Prelutsky and Silverstein have been popular, but others as well. I'd be glad to share our list of collections from the course - it neglects the classics for the current, is strictly aimed at the elementary age group, and is mostly collections of work by the author rather than edited anthologies of poems by many authors. It is subjectively chosen by me, and popular authors are only represented by one title. Request to me personally. Melody Allen Melodyan at lori.state.ri.us
