Hearing words lifted into the air the right way is a blessing. When children get to hear the words they wrote interpreted like that, it's inspiring! I think about all the audios I listen to. Some books have been enhanced by the narrator, others flattened. This is a fascinating topic. Thank you for writing about it!Holly Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476411667354933648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-59199665202390995212019-03-13T20:13:16.326-04:002019-03-13T20:13:16.326-04:00I love this post Leigh Ann.

I enjoy hearing the "author" read and interpret their words for others, but I also know as teachers we can elevate the words of tentative writers for them by 'gifting them' with our read aloud voices that give a seriousness or authority to the writing for an audience. Your wondering is wonderful!!Paula Bourquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10856765362075033115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-40157408905557516582019-03-13T15:45:50.514-04:002019-03-13T15:45:50.514-04:00Leigh Anne,
That poem is beautiful!
I love the end...Leigh Anne,<br />That poem is beautiful!<br />I love the ending lines . . . "Leaving, was it the right thing to do?<br />I turn back, looking toward home<br />I was wrong." <br />(as well as the fact that she worked in many comparisons including right or left and right or wrong!)<br />Great writing!<br /><br />Maybe 3 different people should read each piece??? Just wondering through my fingers here . . . Awesome teacher? Right! :-)Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412984368027896857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-86310366139682663992019-03-13T14:50:25.068-04:002019-03-13T14:50:25.068-04:00I think that one beauty of art -- whether it is wr...I think that one beauty of art -- whether it is written, painted, danced, or such -- is that it is open to interpretation. As readers, onlookers, or audience members, we seek certain things. It is like a Rorschach test. One of the delightful things about the Slice of Life challenge is that we get feedback to discover what someone else might see in our work. I bet that your students appreciate the same thing when you read aloud their compositions.Diane Lisa 2https://wordpress.com/view/writersworkshop.home.blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-36799980077264199932019-03-13T12:49:55.579-04:002019-03-13T12:49:55.579-04:00What a great question to ask yourself!

I once listened to my mother-in-law read some of my poems aloud to me and only then was really able to recognize them as the poems they aspired to be. I'm thrilled that you encouraged your student to recognize the power of her own words and that could be boosted by changing the format.sspelichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760147186496248045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-52746924939115629742019-03-13T12:09:20.812-04:002019-03-13T12:09:20.812-04:00Thank you for sharing!Thank you for sharing!Tbreithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711402462483699430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-91305971384936706322019-03-13T11:38:32.441-04:002019-03-13T11:38:32.441-04:00Beautiful poem.

I wonder how many students/people realize that they make subtly interpretations of the author's written words.arjehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793113101077660894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-60437742363468351692019-03-13T07:25:51.808-04:002019-03-13T07:25:51.808-04:00What a great way to start my day.
