Finding the Dove – Writing Workshops
Here are some handouts for teachers. They include ideas for mentor texts for writers and some prompts that have led to collaborative writing or personal writing. You’ll also see a link to TELL ME A CUNETO, a booklet created by adult students in Lawrence, MA. The poems included are written in response to the illustrated books we read together in “Tell Me A Cuneto” workshops. The booklet can also be used as a reading list for books supporting writing and conversation in the classroom, annotated with students’ poems. The dove in the title of this workshop comes from a story by a student named Aqila Sharafyar, “The Faithful Doves of My Father: An Unforgettable Story” published in I REMEMBER WARM RAIN: 15 Teenagers, 15 Coming to America Stories, The Telling Room, Portland, Maine.
