Classroom Considerations

• Although the teacher's guide is meant to supplement a poetry unit that uses one or both of Sharon Creech's books, most of the poetry activities would work equally well without the inclusion of the books

Pros

• The packet includes a brief biography, an interview with Creech, and selected bibliography

Cons

• None
