Blog+for+middle+school+English

Here is the address for my blog.

[|Lecia's blog]

I used this blog to post a poem for the students to look at and comment on. We had studied the use of extended metaphors in poetry, and this piece was an excellent example of this type of poem. The subject matter, a family experiencing divorce, can be a sensitive topic for middle schoolers, so a blog was a great avenue to allow them to comment without concern about their peers' reactions.
