I love the last line. Shakespeare often wrote about immortalization through verse in his sonnets and this is what I am reminded of in the last stanza. The Global Poetry Project has just welcomed another genius. Please continue to share your poetry...
Hmmmm....and I'm wondering...is it possible to make the world a better place without making ourselves better? And is it possible to make ourselves better without making the world better? I'm really curious about how you would answer this, Kathryn....
Grass is soaked with every color
Each blade saturated in another hue
Technicolor fields for the kaleidoscope yields
chromatic ecstasy for far and few
see the world through a puddle of oil
become into the gallantry of art
there is a great evil, it...

- Welome to WT2MAD Kathryn. I see you've joined Rob's group. Can you let us know how you found your way here? I don't recognise the name of the country (if that is what it is ) that you have listed. Take a look around and see if there are other groups or projects you might like to get involved with.

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.

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.
I haven't blogged on this space for a while, and I certainly apologize for my lack of activity, but I've had an interesting start to my school year nonetheless. District-wide reorganization has resulted in me teaching in three different classrooms...
Hey Rob,
Are you teaching Heart of Darkness and Things Fall Apart together this year for AP? If so, you might want to look at this TED talk (or have the kids look at it). It is about the dangers of "one story". http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda...
