Slice of Life Challenge Day 24
On Friday, Poetry Friday, Elsie shared this call: Travis Jonkers, from 100 Scope Notes (http://100scopenotes.com/) puts a call out each year for your (yes, you) spine poetry. He said, “If you do give it a go, take a picture and post it to your blog, or send it my way via email (scopenotes (at) gmail (dot) com). On Tuesday, April 2nd I’ll be posting a gallery with all your work, and continue to add to it for the entire month.” Click here to go to a page of hints and examples of spine poetry.
On Friday, I gathered some books in my classroom to create this book spine poem. This is fun for kids, too, but makes a mess of your library…creative chaos.
The beautiful stories of life
immersed in verse
inside out & back again
live writing
a river of words
Reflections on the Teche 
A RIver of Words….makes chills go down my spine….
Yes, it would be chaos if an entire class started pulling titles, but it still is a fun project. Nice collection of titles!
I continue to enjoy these spine poems but have yet to try one. Maybe today.
Love the title…especially the Rylant one!
I have seen these before and they are so much fun. I keep saying I’m going to try one. You have inspired me to do it!
Love the books chosen, Margaret. Did you do it with your students? I know it makes a mess, but such fun!
Sweet and timely! I love the poetry that comes from these spines.
Sweet! I’m going to have to try this one…
