“Now your mission (if you choose to
accept it AND if you're old enough to remember the opening bit of every
"Mission: Impossible" show) Create a book spine poem. Have fun with
it. After all, this poem will be almost effortless...”
For months, this has stuck in my
head and I wondered what books I had on my shelf that could become a poem.
Obviously I’m too critical because after getting almost 50 books off my shelves
and trying to rearrange them into a poem, I finally got one that I liked. Here
is a photo of my bookshelf poem:
I think this would be a lot of fun
to do with students in the school library or the classroom library. To keep
from creating a mess for the librarian though, I would make a template of books
and let students fill in the titles (and dewey decimal ID) at the bottom for
you to check for accuracy. Then they can color in the template and present
their bookshelf poem to the class.
What’s on your bookshelf that can become a book spine poem?
Please share.
