Poetry month has come and gone, but not without some great results! One activity our junior high students did was called Book Spine Poetry. I learned about this activity from the Buchlady and her blog post "it's all in the spine!" Students collected books with titles that created a poem. Here are a couple examples.
When Jeff comes home
Al Capone does my shirts
Ask me no questions
without hats, who can tell the good guys?
Baseball
the boys of summer
the games do count
curveball
eagle in flames
ball four
a season on the brink
They all had a lot of fun pulling books off the shelf and creating short 4-8 line poems. One teacher said that it was nice to hear the students talking in the hall the rest of the day about the poems they created with book titles. Me, my aid, and a student volunteer had a lot of fun putting all the books back.
