Tell Me More, My Love, How Much You Love Me

Tell me more, my love, how much you love me;
When I am hungry, chill me with a kiss.
Endlessly proclaim your admiration,
Never try to hide your fascination,
Though at times I may do aught amiss.
You, of course, may ask the same of me.

That you put nothing in your life above me
Will aid in me a similar dedication.
Only thus do lovers spin their bliss.

This is a great question! I think this is a multi-possibility siatiuton. Teachers, and this is not limited to English teachers, can engage students in a myriad of ways that encourage both critical and creative thought. Just look at this blog as a tool. First, it is a public tool to allow student thought and ideas to be seen beyond the class room setting. Imagine if you took this tool, but instead used it as a creative outlet for poetry or short-fiction stories? Students could express themselves and share their work with an audience that may include other teachers, neighbors, friends, parents the sky is the limit! It can, of course, remain anonymous depending on student's preference. If not in an online form, teachers can either create a class or extra-curricular newspaper club. Students who want to share their voice can, and reach an audience of readers in the school and community. If you teach science, keep a science journal much like a magazine where students can write about interested articles they've found, share research projects or discuss the latest scientific trends. Whatever the topic, I believe if you think creatively and critically about the ways that adults' share thoughts in the real world', you can apply those concepts and ideas to student life. I do not think that creative and critical need to be exclusive ideas or expressions. Just offering students options leaves room for them to surprise you with their ingenuity.
