Blogging- What would be better...

I think it would almost be better if we all could blog on the same page... It might be better because than everyone can see everyone's comment instead of going to each individual blog. I still like the idea of having your own blog to get out ideas that might not go on a certain thread of the blog.

I think an interesting thing we could do in class would be a poetry slam, or have someone come in who knows how to actually read poetry in that way. It might be fun to get more creative in class with poetry, because like we learned in TE 348, a lot of classes don't learn poetry just because the teacher doesn't like poetry.

On a side note, I looked up Nikki Grimes' website, and I have to say it was very informative and it was very interesting to look at too!
I thought these things were interesting:


I order and review the creation of teaching guides for my books.

I ship galleys of each new book to key librarians around the country to help promote my books.

I design, print, and ship postcards to promote my books.

This was all found at nikkigrimes.com

It is hard to see some of what you posted...so I will be looking at her site. You make valid points Kate, and I think we should do some blogging as a thread or whole group. As far as the poetry part goes, yes, I hope to do more tomorrow. I love poetry, but I am no expert, but we will work on it together.
