For the month of March, each day I am writing and posting a slice of my life, hosted by Two Writing Teachers.
March Slice of Life Challenge Day 8: Spine Poetry
Have you ever tried Book Spine Poetry? For me, writing a Spine Poem is simple and fun, yet so visually appealing. As I was straightening up my bookshelves at school on Thursday afternoon I wrote two new Spine Poems.
My first Spine Poem is based on professional education resources (and some of my favorite books). The second Spine Poem uses mostly Young Adult titles.

I love this poetry idea. We have not done this yet, but in the past my students seemed to love it as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI like both poems, but the second is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love Book Spine poetry. Not only does your poems show excellent reading material but it also demonstrates good imagination for creating messages.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great use of books! Thanks for introducing me to something new!
ReplyDeleteI love spine poetry, and these are so good!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It would be so fun to do it with a whole book shelf of books - each student gets a book shelf in the library. Thanks for sharing! Happy writing and teaching!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy spine poetry. So fun to scan the shelves and find some titles that work together and then keep building the poem. I am sure I will do this at some point this month.
ReplyDeleteYou think with all my titles I could do this but my mind doesn’t have the cleverness yours has
