Ways to use it in the classroom

• Becoming a Wordsmith: Playing with Poetry
  Book Connection: Gabriela Mistral was a
  poet. She loved to write about happy times
  and sad times, mothers and children, and
  even parrots, peacocks, and rats!
  Poetry is wonderful. It does not have to be
  poetic. It does not have to rhyme. It can be
  written using any type of language and
  about any subject.

• Have students create their own books:
       * About their culture
       * About their ancestors
       * About their life
