Poetry Friday Roundup

Hi everyone, This week I bring you a new Meme from, ‘KidLitosphere Central The Society of Bloggers in Children’s and Young Adults Literature”. click to follow link

Poetry Friday Roundup

I wanted to learn more about Kidlitosphere after visiting with a local high school Literature teacher who is truly gifted.  Mrs. R. is able to deliver stories to her children in theatrical ways that captures and holds their attention, so I thought a good place to find ideas and knowledge would be here in a new Meme to help me be a little more like her.  I hope you enjoy reading what I have learned in “Poetry Friday Roundup” the Friday Meme.

1. The site much like our Lit. instructor has cautioned highly recommends that we adhere to copy-right fair use.  This blog recommends that only a few lines of any poem being posted and a link to the full poem.
2. I learned that this blog uses one blogger, Mary Lee Hahn to “round up” poetry from all around.  A list is complied by her within the blog for poetry enthusiast around the world.  I wasn’t aware one person could tact so much information but if you click this link you will find her work well organized.
3.  I was surprised to learn that this site is connected to an annual conference that attracts librarian, educators, authors and those who are new to literature.  I was also surprised at the central United States location.  I wander if any one out there can help me understand why Wichita, Kansas was choose over say San Diego or Orlando? Date of this years upcoming conference;KIDLITCON 2016Friday October 14

   Well, as you noticed I didn’t find what I was looking for in the Meme instead I found a wealth of information on Poetry.  The past few weeks of blogging are proving to be very exciting and UNPREDICTABLE.  I regret that I do not have time to make the trip for the annual KidLitCon, and I am still searching for ways to develop my ability to be an awesome teacher, we will see what helpful tips find me next week.
