Have you written a narrative piece featuring this moment before? You have created a wonderful mentor text for the students. The imagery of your words lingered in my mind and I almost had to shiver from the cold, although it is not one bit cold here. Loved this post today!elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-90831815395024138112012-08-15T00:44:36.622+10:002012-08-15T00:44:36.622+10:00I'll never forget the whistler, either.

Also, I love the way the poem you shared made me feel as if I could almost hear the whistler's tune-so vivid! <br />Amy Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177520075043676835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-66954345108118743562012-08-14T16:43:48.076+10:002012-08-14T16:43:48.076+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Amy Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177520075043676835noreply@blogger.com
