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

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.
