Thanks Kristen for that idea. I haven't read the book although I have it in the Library. I will now read it and add it to either my Book Club or my Year 7 reading program. Linking the text into action on issues of social justice is a great idea.

- Hi Glenys! Great to see you here : )) I'm in the business of group building around these parts, so if there is a particular need that you have that you would like to connect with others around, just let me know. Perhaps we can create a topic-specific group for that and others can join you in conversation about it. We do have a great little network here!

- Welcome to our community Glenys. Can you let us know a little more about you? Are you a teacher? This space has some very passionate members (both teachers and students) who are interested in seeing what it is they can do to make a difference in the lives of others. Take a look around and see if there are any groups that interest you or any opportunities for collaborative work with others. Nice to have another fellow Victorian on board!
Cheers,
Jenny Luca. : )

- Hi Glenys,
Nice to see you here. Another Australian from Victoria! Looking forward to hearing about what you're up to and sharing ideas. This is a great place and it's where my understanding of global connection has been built. It also seems to be a growing place and I'd love to know what brought you here. Cheers Nina

Good on you Erik. I bet your parents are appreciative of all you are doing at home. Perhaps you can build on this and continue to do some of those things, like making your bed. I think you're off to a great start. : )
Reminds me of Shel Silverstein's the giving tree, I also really enjoyed the abrupt imagery that you created.
Fate had condemned us
Delegated us to be
Sheep in wolf's clothing
We were not mighty
For we could not escape
The pack's impending
Shadow
So we had become Fear's marionettes
Oh how clever we had thought we were
We were nothing new
We were not co...
I'm looking forward to reading the student's posts Kristin. Please let them know their words are valued here.

I made a difference by doing a couple of things they are:
1. I gave the ball to Mr.Poluk in volleyball so he did not have to walk to the other side of the gym. This would of made a dif...
Poetry is powerful. The fact that words on a page or, in the case of the Global Poetry Project, on a screen can elicit emotion is quite amazing. The aim of the Global Poetry Project goes further than that though. This is not a project merely put i...
Here is a blog post created by Michaela, one of my grade 5 students, outlining what she did on day one of our 25 Days to Make a Difference Challenge (I will try to provide daily samples of student submissions throughout our challenge):

Today I made a difference by lending my friend some change to buy breakfast with because she didn't have enough time to eat at home.
Your last line is unexpected--wow. This could be speaking to so much more than trees, too.
Five devastating words: Just to be Cut Down
Trees are a magnificent, important and irreplaceable part of nature. They don't grow to be cut down, not in the wonderful wild forests we should protect but aren't. This poem has a real message, thank yo...
The Global Poetry Project aims to provide a space for members to expand upon their cultural views through the writing and reading of poetry.
As I walked into the over crowded cafeteria I noticed that one of my good friends was sitting by herself. I knew that someone was sitting with her, but they were waiting in line for lunch. So instead of getting in the back of a long line right awa...
Today I made a difference by helping my dad with the new garage door opener he had to install. Together we turned a 4 hour job into a 2 hour job. I felt great after helping.
This is so cool, I can't wait to see what happens!!
Mike, you are such an active member of this space and you and your students inspire me. I'm looking forward to seeing what you and your students can achieve.
