His poems are woven in the illustrations and typed on the end papers. The illustrations, done on the pages of old books, are filled with words and make every page interesting to study. I mentioned this book last week in my picture books about poets post. This is a phenomenal introduction to William Carlos Williams. I use this to show students the illustration of “The Red Wheelbarrow.”Ī RIVER OF WORDS: THE STORY OF WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Each book, about a different famous poet, comes with a brief biography about the poet, and each poem features commentary/explanations and illustrations. This “Poetry for Young People” series is one that I recommend, and can be found often during April (Poetry Month) in Scholastic Book Club flyers. WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS (Poetry for Young People series) His performance is fabulous, and we can pause it and talk about various poems and flip to the back to look at the originals. I first had this audiobook on cassette tape, then graduated to CD. This is one of the books I do totally as a read aloud, but every student has a copy. As the poems from the famous poets appear in the book, I dig out these resources to help students understand Robert Frost, William Blake, and others a bit better. The resources are listed in the order that I use them–in the order that Jack learns about them. Over the years, I’ve collected some favorite books that I use while teaching LOVE THAT DOG. My students love reading this book and discovering that they can write poetry too. One of the highlights of my year is teaching LOVE THAT DOG by Sharon Creech.
