Since I am going to be busy for the next couple of weeks prepping for my Christmas shows, I would like to add a new element to this blog. Call it Remarkable Kidz and it will feature videos of kids being remarkable in the arts.

Each week, Max Tell features a few inspirational articles about poetry writing for kids

as well as his own blog posts.

Max Tell / Writing Prompt / I'm a Monster

Original Image: funny-pictures.picphotos.net

PROMPT: I'm a Monster

TEACHER: If you were a monster what kind of monster would you be?

INSTRUCTIONS: See Monday's entry for general instructions.

Below, you will find Max Tell's 10 minute notes and final draft for today's prompt.

NOTE FROM MAX: Sometimes when I do this exercise, ideas jump out of my imagination in the form or poetry, but when the poetry stops flowing, I follow whatever thought comes to mind. Do not get stuck with poetry. Let your mind be free. You can always turn back to the poetry when you re-write.

If I were a monster, I would’t fright

I wouldn’t spook throughout the night,

I wouldn’t sneak, and peak, and shriek,

Max Tell / Amanda the Panda

As a special change today, here is a video of one of Max Tell's latest songs which is to appear on his next CD. Enjoy.

PROMPT: Boring

TEACHER: What makes you bored? How do you feel when you get bored? 

INSTRUCTIONS: See Monday's entry for general instructions.

Before beginning today's 10 minute writing session, invite the class to make 'boring' faces, photograph them, and post the pictures around the room. Afterward, post the pictures and the poems out on the hall bulletin board.

Max Tell / Writing Prompt / I Wish I Were

PROMPT: I wish I were . . . swing on a swing, rollerblading, skateboarding, kiting, or anything you choose.

TEACHER: What would you like to be doing right now? Would you like to be swinging on a swing, rollerblading, or skateboarding? Or maybe you have something completely different in mind. Let's have fun with our imagination.
