“So he stood in his shoes
And he wonder'd,
He wonder'd,
He stood in his shoes.“

blurb

I would use this book in my future classroom to do self reflections. The students could create self-portraits and include images and words to represent their interests, families, and experiences to represent their individuality.

This poetry book was published in 2017. This is a reflective poem that has themes of identity, nature, and the human experience. He draws on imagery and talks about feelings of love, mortality, and the quest for understanding. The author makes connections to his personal experience and the real world.

“I am me, and that‘s enough, just like the stars up in the sky.”
I like this quote because it beautifully conveys the message of self-acceptance and the idea that everyone is unique and valuable in their own right. By comparing individuality to the stars, it emphasizes that just as each star shines in its own way, so does each person have their own light and purpose.

As the young child sat on the edge of their bed, they flipped through a scrapbook filled with photographs and mementos from their life. Each page held a memory—a drawing from art class, a ticket stub from a favorite movie, and snapshots of family outings.

“A Song About Myself,“ written by M. H. Clark and illustrated by Anna McGreal, is a delightful children's picture book that invites young readers to celebrate their individuality and uniqueness. The story follows a young child who reflects on various aspects of their life, such as their interests, experiences, and feelings, in a joyful and engaging manner.

“There was a naughty boy,
A naughty boy was he,
He would not stop at home,
He could not quiet be--“

blurb

This poem book uses a lot of rhyme and repetition to tell the story. The book is broken up into 4 sections. Almost like mini-chapters. At the beginning of each “chapter“ it star6ts with the same the first line.

This is a poem that John Keats wrote about himself. He describes himself as a “naughty boy“ who was curious about the world and loved to explore. He decided to go for a walk in London and explore. He wrote this poem because he wanted to make his little sister laugh.

This book, like many others that I have read throughout looking into more poetry, tells and continues a story with each poem. Not only is it easy to understand what is going on within the poem, but the illustrations also aid in how the understanding of the poem. I enjoy these types for younger children.
Other than this, there is a constant rhythm to these poems. Not all have the constant flow, but most of them are very rhythmic throughout.

em_lemo This book was published in 1924. One of my favorite pieces within the book goes like this,
“There was a naughty boy
And a naughty boy was he
For nothing would he do
But scribble poetry.“

This story was too complicated for me to really enjoy. I think it was way too wordy and the rhythm was constantly changing. I don‘t think this would be a good classroom book.

This 2017 collection of poems tells the story of a John Keats through “chapters.” The poems are kind of wordy and they aren‘t succinct at all. I couldn‘t always easily find the rhythm so I think young students would struggle to enjoy this book. I really like the illustrations but I wasn‘t a fan of the story and the way it was set up.

Keats use of rhyme would get the students actively involved by guessing the next word. Also illustrator Raschka does beautiful work.

Published in 2017, definitely a great book, versatile for older and younger age groups. The placement of the sentences will probably make more sense being read out loud to younger children, while older would be able to read on their own. Very unique sentence structure for a poetry book!

A sing-songy book with interesting syntax! It definitely makes you pay attention while you read but also the illustrations and rhyming make it really fun

A Song About Myself by John Keats (poetry, published 2017) is a poetic prose. I really enjoyed the book, it rhymed and the sentence structure was anything but ordinary. There was also a line through every page and pictures around it that would be right side up but also upside down and just all over. It would have the be for a little of older children but I enjoyed it

I can see this as a book that I would love to read at a loud and fast pace with my students. They would really get excited and then it could lead into a conversation about travel and what they bring on vacation!

Published in 2017- A Song About Myself is one long poem that uses rhyme schemes and children‘s love of exploring to create a poem about a boy who runs away to different places. I love how the author uses various items and many ideas to make a poem that is almost as wild and crazy as the inside of a child‘s mind. There are repetitions of certain verses in the poem, but overall it is fun and unpredictable!

A Song about Myself by John Keats published in 2017 was such a cute poetry book. Some of the wording may be a little confusing for younger children so I would recommend 2nd grade and up! It talks about 4 different stories of a “naughty” boy and instances he travels upon. I thinks its quirky with a sense of creativity. I think children would enjoy the rhythm in this book.

Sweet book for his sister, a little tongue twister- oh the good brother charm ha! This book was very interesting, the words somehow flow out of your mouth as you read this book. I found myself reader faster and faster as the pages flipped! This book can be a great addition for the classroom library. It demonstrates yet another style of poetry. The teaching strategies that can be provided by this book are RA, S, RT, SR, CR.

AshleyC Poetry month can be filled with books like this. My personal creative activity is for students to write a poem about themselves. They will be set up with about 2-3 practice stanzas on how the poem can be constructed. Each poem will them be implemented in the classroom poetry section. This can be very useful for students who struggle with expressing themselves or just want to write freely. 7y
AshleyC Valuable UDL strategies could include 6.3- facilitate managing information and resources. And important EL Strategy is 13- use preview and review activities. Students may not fully comprehend the format of poetry. 7y
devin.s This looks like a great read! I like the lesson you attached, it seems like it could be extremely beneficial to students! 7y
