Very teacher friendly, Poetry Mentor Texts uses easy to implement ideas for next week's lessons. Reading and writing connections clearly help teachers show how reading is the inhaling and writing is the exhaling. Much enjoyed. Notes below are for my touchstone, but might illustrate the book's variability: "Editing the Chrysalis" Avis Harley "My Writer's Notebook" "Remembering" P. McKissack-->cloth (artifacts: dolls, stuffed animals, piece of jewelry...) "Every Time I Climb a Tree" David McCord (posit Very teacher friendly, Poetry Mentor Texts uses easy to implement ideas for next week's lessons.

Patricia MacLachlan (not a fan of acrostics or poetry for two voices, but each of these kinds has a chapter dedicated to it)

My first impression is that the suggestions in this book are geared more for the K-5 crowd; however, with my current vow to bring back the fun in 8th grade writing, maybe I need to try some of these activities.

Like that they make connections to writing in each chapter. Makes poetry more accessible.
