Chapter 5/Chap.14

To many people, poetry has always been like a lovely harmony of rhythm. As I got older, I understood it more than I did as a child. I was hardly interested in poetry in elementary. It was confusing for me. The only poetry I would recite were Mother Goose rhymes. I think every child enjoyed the bouncy, happy rhymes that Mother Goose provided for its' readers. I think it is very significant for our young readers to become more than readers, but to become writers. Children of all ages are fascinated through many endless stories and countless journeys of literature. As they get deeper into a book they enjoy reading, they can express and create ideas as they write their own kind of literature stories. In our text book, on page 318, it talks about the writing process. Authors taught us that writing is often hard work and with lots of drafts and much revision, we can become great writers in literature and persuade readers through our stories. Developing a comprehensive and effective writing program is an important part of any living literature classroom. When the students keep on working and re-writing, they will reach a point when the story starts coming to life .
