Janeczko's
powerful poems, accented with historic illustrations by actual inmates,
convey the horrors of the Czech concentration camp TerezĆn.
A
handbook for the budding cryptographer including codes and ciphers,
invisible inks, concealment techniques, spy stories and some history.
A
collection of true spy stories from throughout the history of the
United States, discussing personalities, missions, traitors,
technological advances, and more.
In this splendid and playful volume, acclaimed poetry anthologist Paul
B. Janeczko and Caldecott Honor illustrator Chris Raschka present lively
examples of twenty-nine poetic forms, demonstrating not only the
(sometimes bendable) rules of poetry, but also the spirit that brings
these forms so wonderfully to life.
Even kids who don't know they like poetry will love this playful,
visually accessible collection of thirty concrete poems--illustrated by a
Caldecott Honor artist! Concrete poems startle and delight the eye and
mind. The size and arrangement of words--or even just letters on the
page can add or alter meaning, and poems can take the shape of crows and
fly off the page. Or become a balloon filled with rhyme drifting away
from outstretched hands.
A collection of lively rhymes and tricky tongue twisters, poems for more
than one voice, bilingual poems -- from classic Shakespeare and Lear to
anonymous rhymes to contemporary riffs on everything under the sun.
The 20 poems in this collection were chosen for their thought-provoking
topics; compelling real-world themes that lead to conversation and
collaboration in middle school classrooms. And by showing you how the
poems and activities address the common core standards for English
Language Arts (complete with a sample chart linking the poems to the
standards), Paul provides a clear understanding of how you can "get
there" using poetry. You can cultivate a passion for poetry in your
classroom.
In this guide for aspiring young writers, poets speak about their work and give examples as well as encouraging tips.
A selection of short American poems dealing with the four seasons and
the different weather events and animal patterns that can occur within
