Thanks for the detailed explanation of how you used it - this is why I love reading your posts - you teach everything first and I can just ride along on your coattails - thanks!!

As far as the copyright issue, I think you're fine - you are allowed to copy 10% of a book, so a couple pages should be okay. Rest easy, my friend :)<br /><br />~Jessica<br /><a href="http://lawlerjoyinthejourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Joy in the Journey</a>Jessica Lawlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940470938873855305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097837289642276389.post-15217623954715679412013-09-01T11:36:27.250-04:002013-09-01T11:36:27.250-04:00I absolutely love Ralph Fletcher!

I have his poetry collection called A Writing Kind of Day. It's also a great read if you're teaching poetry and figurative language. I got to meet him a while back and he's truly genuine and full of tons of great stories! His memoir Marshfield Dreams is also filled with tons of great figurative language as well! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your activity,<br />Amanda<br /><a href="www.myshoestringlife.com" rel="nofollow">My Shoe String Life</a><br /><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/8326723/my-shoe-string-life" rel="nofollow">Follow Me on Bloglovin'</a>Amanda Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469128991778777360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097837289642276389.post-91089458140931255812013-09-01T10:49:35.362-04:002013-09-01T10:49:35.362-04:00This is such a beautiful text!
