<p>""WHATEVER SHIRLEY OR NICK TELL YOU-BELIEVE THEM.""</p><p>- Naomi Shihab Nye<br></p><p>How do we read a poem? What can we teach from a poem we love? How can we name what poets do in order to inform our writing, our teaching?</p><p>In their staff development work with teachers, Nick Flynn and Shirley McPhillips have often encountered these and similar questions. This book invites preservice and inservice teachers, staff developers - anyone who wants to make a lasting place for poetry in their own and their students' lives - into many of these same primary through middle school classrooms for an up-close look at several thoughtful, rigorous, poetry inquiries.</p><p>Each chapter begins with a mentor poem as the centerpiece for discussion, followed by a short narrative of ways the authors view their world through that chapter's particular poetic ""lens."" The authors then walk the reader into a classroom writer's workshop where, through vignettes, conversations, and carefully designed mini-lessons, that chapter's key element of poetic practice is being studied over time.</p><p>Other aspects that will help teachers in designing and conducting inquiry around mentor poems include:<UL><LI>mini-lessons that take students through an inquiry from launch to in-depth extensions;</LI><LI>illustrations of student writing samples in the ""try it"" stages, successive drafts, and crafted poems;</LI><LI>words, stories, and examples of best-loved poets that inspire and instruct us in our own thinking and teaching;</LI><LI>appendixes that include various types of book lists, charts, conference transcripts, and additional poems.</LI></UL><p><I>A Note Slipped Under the Door</I> will show how you might help your student writers let the poems they love teach them what they need to know, and build a writing life that includes finding and crafting their own.</p>
