Sidnie,
I saw some neat 5th grade word illustrations on
Linda's school site. http:www.sjs.org
Also check out my eight graders reading on the web:

It shows how technology can encourage kids to read.
Or perhaps our wall of words to promote vocabulary.

Or art words in the classroom:

That's one of the triplets reading on the pot years ago.
When Tiffanie is 13 she is going to be real mad at me.
Rosie did a great book making workshop for us one year.

But I think it's more art than reading oriented.
Good Luck, Woody
Remember, Literacy is not just words on paper. We need to
be able to see and interpret everything around us.

> Hi All, I got enlisted to present for an hour at a Literacy Conference (k-12) in our District. I plan to show them some Altered Books but my samples are so art oriented. I don't think that painting and cleaning up after it are in the cards for many teachers. I plan to show found poetry and some of the cool poetry formulas that Michal talked about. Of course they could make a painting or collage and write about it, but I need some more ideas ! Anyone feel literarily (is that a word? Why am I doing a literacy presentation!!!!) inspired?? Sid
