Students - Sometimes it is fun to trace back the family tree of a piece of writing - where did it come from? Well, this one came from a few places. One place it came from is a poem that I've read a few times this week, The Place I Want to Get Back To by Mary Oliver. The last few lines read -
If you want to talk about this
come to visit. I live in the house
near the corner, which I have named
Gratitude.
Mary Oliver's poem got me thinking about what I'm grateful for.
Then, I came across the drawing above that my daughter Georgia drew.
I did some reading about informational texts, particularly compare and contrast.
I also remembered this book -
And all of this led to to today's poem!

Try it - find a piece of writing you've done (or write a new one) and then trace it back. Find its relatives and see where it came from in your attic-mind.
