Great selection of Spanish Themed Poems

I teach 6-7 graders who are mostly Latino. I always looking for books that they can get excited about. This is one of the books that the students seem to enjoy. We use this book to work with tutors to improve writing and reading comprehension.

Red hot choice.

Poetry. Young elementary through teens. No illustrations. Latino writers tell who they are and what they dream through poems written in English and Spanish.

STRAIGHT TO THE HEART

There are dozens of poignant poems, each written in Spanish and English. I used these in my writing program, and even with parents on back to school night. Parents and 7th grade Latino students responded and the activity spawned a deeply thoughtful dialogue. Highly recommended.

Great book!

As a latina born and raised in Mexico with a gringo father and now in the U.S. I found many of the poems to be an accurate reflection of being bicultural and the many directions it pulls you in. I found the book (along with discussion questions and activities for classroom use) at: http://www.colorincolorado.org/inclass/books_month_oct05.php
