National Poetry Month, all year round!~Last Stanza

National Poetry Month, all year round! That is the message of this website from the U.K. http://www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk/education/

We want to carpet the nation with poetry, and we hope that you will continue to help us to do that in your school or library. How about poetry hopscotch in the playground – with each square representing a poem to read? How about weaving a poem through the school railings to show your support for poetry, or even running a competition to choose a poem for engraving on a school window? http://www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk/education/

Plus, great lesson plans featuring poets such as Rossetti, Rilke, and Mayakovsky

And, this post on Haiku books for kids

Common Core State Standards for Adult Education

newccssforae

College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards for Adult Education. The work is the result of a nine-month process that examined the Common Core State Standards from the perspective of adult education. It was funded to provide a set of manageable yet significant CCR standards that reflect broad agreement among subject matter experts in adult education about what is desirable for adult students to know to be prepared for the rigors of postsecondary education and training.

The report written by Susan Pimentel, prepared by MPR, Associates, Inc, for the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Adult Education.

The Newspaper Clipping Generator~Mid-week Fun from a vintage favorite

The Newspaper Clipping Generator is a vintage favorite for delivering personalized content in snippets.

Check it out: http://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp

http://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp

Fill in four text fields and click “Generate” to reveal your image clipping. Please do not use students’ names or personal identifiers or actual newspaper names. To download your newspaper clipping, use the link at the bottom of the generated image. You can publish your image on your own website or blog.  Direct linking to the newspaper clippings doesn’t work; the images are deleted from the server after a short time span. The sample above is for my online science course.
