Bonnie Disney, part-time WIN consultant, leads teachers from Brockington Elementary, Johnson Middle School, and Timmonsville High School in a Literary and Informational Text Scavenger Hunt.   Following the scavenger hunt, WIN consultant Hannah Baker discusses the Point of View standards prior to the war-themed activity using a short story and six poems.   

Teacher testimonials:

“I got many ideas for using Found Poetry and integrating a variety of sources."

 

“I can use these activities, especially the Literary and Information Text Scavenger Hunt, with my students.”

 

“I really liked the small group activities where students read poems about wars and use those poems to create Found Poetry.”

 

“The group activities were helpful.  I needed this for my classes.”

 

“I loved the wartime poems.  This activity will be a great way to integrate social studies into my ELA classes.”
