This morning's Ethical ELA prompt asks us to consider the power of anagrams to generate ideas and encourage writing. As a teacher of often reluctant beginning readers and writers, I am keenly aware of the challenges spurred by was-saw, post-stop, who-how. Yet, I also see anagrams as funny in stressed-desserts. On this second snowy, stay-home day in a row, I am trying to embrace the forced quiet while remembering the challenge of anagrams for my readers-writers!
It is quite quiet,
This morn in the Northeast
Where snow has become norm.
She will decide to
Stop and read a post,
She will dare herself to look out.
Fearing the outlook is
More snow
As the newsroom said,
It's clear, if she waits,
It will be up to her waist!
