So, I do use fairy tales with them sometimes. It's amazing how rich a lesson becomes when using poetry. <br />Also, thanks for the poetry 180 links!

One of the poets laureate of our state wrote a fractured fairy tale book of poetry, Ava Leavell Haymon Why the House is Made of Gingerbread. http://lsupress.org/books/detail/why-the-house-is-made-of-gingerbread/ This is an adult book, but some would probably work for kids. At least Lemony Snicket thinks so.

You must be a wonderful teacher/poet with the kids! I rarely had a whole class assignment like this, but I did share the idea of a fractured fairy tale as an idea, sharing a mentor text, and sometimes a student wrote one. These were young adolescents and they still loved imagining a different POV. Thanks, Laura.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
