Or something serious, like What if I didn’t even have a home Most kids are choosing a fun subject and funny answers, but I feel like taking a chance and asking a hard question even if I might not like my answer, even if I might not have any answer at all.

- 13. Fake News: A Poem with Alliteration Write a poem that uses several words that begin with the same letter and sound for a special effect. That’s called “alliteration.”
- 15. Golden Shovel Poetry Here are the rules for the Golden Shovel: 1. Take a line (or lines) from a poem you admire. 2. Use each word in the line (or lines) as an end word in your poem. 3. Keep the end words in order. 4. Give credit to the poet who originally wrote the line (or lines). The new poem does not have to be about the same subject as the poem that offers the end words. If you pull a line with six words, your poem would be six lines long. If you pull a stanza with 24 words, your poem would be 24 lines long. And so on.

Editor's Notes
- These are just a scant few of the many books Marilyn has written or been a part of but time prevents me from detailing them all. Please come to her session tomorrow to hear more of her wonderful words. To conclude … I would like to borrow from an article that appeared in the journal Image Written by Jeanne Murray Walker. “American history as conceived by Marilyn Nelson is the inside-out, last-shall-be-first version. She inhabits the voices of the overlooked and disenfranchised and shines light into forgotten corners that reveal essential truths about the whole … But if she is a revisionist historian’s poet, she is also a child’s poet, a mother’s poet, a housekeeper’s poet, and scientist’s poet. Her poem “Dusting” is a lament for an “infernal, endless chore,” but also a psalm of thanks for the gift of dust, the spores and fungus that float from equator to pole, and which, because they precipitate rain, are crucial to all life on our planet. It’s this breadth of perspective, from pole to pole, past to present, from spheres domestic to atmospheric, that make her so remarkable.” Please welcome the 2017 NCTE Award for Excellence in Children’s Poetry recipient, Marilyn Nelson.
