I was pleased to see you reference Johnston’s book. I’m reading his newest, Opening Minds. Daily I’ve found myself wrestling with how I pose questions and make suggestions to students because of his insights. I think there is a potential for powerful reforms in education that would affect girls and boys in all subjects.

I like what Shirley says about “After all, we respond in different ways, taking what we need”. Unlike non-fiction which relies on facts, and novels which contain an author’s agenda, poetry presents the liberating aspect of allowing the reader to interpret the words in a personal way with no interference of right or wrong expectations.

Congratulations on an enlightening and practical series.

Comment on Book spine poems: I See What You Mean… by Mrs. V

I have been enjoying these book spine poems this week! I did a PD book spine poem in April as part of the Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Story Challenge. They were not all Stenhouse books, but about 5 of them were. I put Living the Questions and Day by Day together closely as well – such a great match!

Great idea. I went right to my bookshelf and made two poems this morning. A good way to mesh books, language, the poetic form. Thanks.
