Current Calls for Manuscripts
Language Arts—Feature Call
In each issue, we will feature a final page called “In Closing . . . .” This is a one-page format (750-word maximum) that could take the form of a poem, essay, conversation, journal entry, short story, or visual art with caption. The focus is on the voices of educators who have recognized a shift in perspective, perception, or practice—in their school, their district, or themselves. We hope that readers will look forward to this feature because it prompts them to remember and rethink. Deadline is ongoing.
Voices from the Middle—The Road Seldom Taken: Poetry
When poetry lovers talk about this genre, they mention the emotional journey that they do not often experience with other literature. Many poetry lovers learned to appreciate this genre in spite of their school experiences, which often included dissection and the “right interpretation.” How do you nurture the love of poetry in your classroom? How do you help your students delve into the multiple and deeper meanings of poems? How do you help your students obtain a permanent membership in the “poetry club”? In what ways can this road seldom taken become a well-worn path? Deadline: March 1, 2008
