I am sure that kids would relate to this. What a wonderful activity as well for teachers. I get lost in Twitter seriously. While I am aware of what hashtags do and how it can organize things for you, it just goes over my head for some reason.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-33410144543045363322012-06-10T10:54:07.392-06:002012-06-10T10:54:07.392-06:00I love poetry, and I love the lines, "but now...I love poetry, and I love the lines, "but now,<br />instead,<br />I'll blink..."<br /><br />How often have I blinked, fingers poised above my keys, blinking, blinking, hoping that on the next blink will be the perfect word!<br /><br />Thanks for writing that.Sheri Edwardshttp://whatelse2learn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-21475180452644493272012-06-05T12:57:44.710-06:002012-06-05T12:57:44.710-06:00Friday is the last day.

I have one more week, but I don't have the grades, etc. & big responsibility like you. It's an exploration for sure. Kate says she envisioned about a dozen people & it's more than 600 now. Amazing!

I'm going to try and follow slicers especially, but there are many people to check out.

Although, even as this endeavor begins I go into a busy few weeks of school coming to an end, so we shall see how I do! I love these lines in your poem:<br /> I could write lists of things I love,<br />and things that make me think.<br />...that's the core of writing! So, I believe you will thrive over the course of this summer camp! Now I'm off to "grab the button" and make my participation official on my blog!Tarahttp://tmsteach.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-86972019507981367152012-06-03T13:29:56.977-06:002012-06-03T13:29:56.977-06:00Hi Gae, thanks for coming by & the welcome.

I really am excited. <br /> I had good teachers, as I remember, but still there are those 'grades' we earned (I guess) & that put some stops in our brains that prevents us from just using the words freely. Many seem to be still fighting to break the barriers. Me too.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-10726949488844856652012-06-03T13:16:34.427-06:002012-06-03T13:16:34.427-06:00I don't know... it seems like maybe you did fi...I don't know... it seems like maybe you did find a bit of poetry... funny, I'm trying to write a poem or two too today -- something I did a ton of as a kid and teen and twenty-something then stopped altogether. Now, as a "professional" writer, I keep thinking there are rules to poems and I need to go study them before I write them when I've never really studied any writing rules (other than those you learn as a matter of course in primary school, HS and college). Funny the barriers we all put up for ourselves. Let's see if I can hurdle this one. :) Welcome to Summer writing, Linda!gae polisnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491813685110351809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-70653814551813212682012-06-03T13:11:48.785-06:002012-06-03T13:11:48.785-06:00I've seen several 'slicers' on the lis...I've seen several 'slicers' on the list, but remember March?

We'll see where it goes . . . I just may find out there is a different kind of writer deep down inside -- as opposed to my slicer writer. :) Just noticed the 'button' too.
