Poetry
I would like to introduce Shel Silverstein’s poem, Rain to my class. It would be a great piece to teach the class on stanza’s, choral reading and rhyming. I would make the curricular connection of the poem to introduce the study of the various climates. This poem would obviously be the lead into studying precipitation (rain).

1. What is narrative? Explain components.
2. Explain W.W. experience. Discuss process and sandwich (SBH, 2007) Theory.
1. There are five components to compose a well-written, successful narrative paper. Each and every component is crucial to the paper, one component cannot successfully stand independently of the other parts. When creating a paper that needs to be a narrative, consider that by the end of the paper the reader must have been told a story. It could be fictional or non-fictional, preferably, which ever type the author selects, will be an engaging story for the audience. As the author puts pen to paper, he must be conscience that the story must fluidly show a sequence of events over a period of time. This could be an event that took place within a week, months, years or decades. Ultimately, the length of time is totally contingent on the goal of the author. To add to the fluidity of the story, it must be crystal clear when moving from the beginning, to the middle and the finale of the story. Each event that the author introduces in the story must be clearly and completely explained/discussed/elaborated.
2. The Sandwich Theory (SBH, 2007) is for application during writing workshops for groups that are comprised of 3-5 students. It is a theory that promotes positive feedback and exchange of ideas among the students. The three parts of the theory are:
* Each student will have their papers underneath their seats and take turns at making a positive statement to the author stating what they liked about the narrative.
* TSW ask the author a question about the writing and/or make suggestions ( for example, character development, word choice) to help move a small concept to a big concept paper.
* TSW then ask a positive question or make a positive suggestion
I enjoyed the writing workshop with my home group. It allowed me to gather suggestions from my group and feel more comfortable with receiving their input. The positive input helped to corroborate that my paper did possess the fluidity that is required as one of the components of a narrative paper. The Sandwich Theory opened the door to a face to face discussion exchanging suggestions to improve our individual MGP paper of choice. I was able to witness the multifaceted talents of each home group member.
