Poem In Your Pocket at TLC

Mrs. Crisp’s 4^th period class participated in Poem In Your Pocket at TLC.  Her class came to the Book Nook where they all shared a poem and did a fabulous job reading with expression.  Guest reader for their class was Mr. Wilson.  A great English day for Mrs. Crisp’s crew that afternoon! They all had fun.

The idea of Poem In Your Pocket is to select a poem you love during National Poetry Month (April), then carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends. J

Summary:  Clay Jensen comes home from school and finds a package by his front door. He's excited. An unexpected package with no return addresss, for him? What Clay finds inside is a shoebox full of cassette tapes. He rushes to the old radio/cassette player in his dad's garage to check out these mysterious tapes. What he hears when he inserts the first tape is the voice of Hannah Baker. Hannah, the girl he'd had a crush on, went to school with, and worked with at the movie theater. The girl who had changed, drastically, in the past few months. Hannah Baker, the girl who committed suicide. Clay soon realizes that these tapes aren't just a suicide note, instead, these are thirteen reasons -- thirteen people, to be exact -- who created a snowball-effect of events that led Hannah to believe that suicide was her only option. But why is Clay on that list? How could he possibly be one of the reasons that she killed herself? This is an emotional book that will make readers examine their own actions, and consider the effect they may have on others.
