Writing Fix: Summarizing a State's History With a Found Poem

Curated by ACT

Students will identify the main message and story behind the song "Cold Missouri Waters," by James Keelaghan; they will use a note-taking strategy and create a "found poem." They will then apply this strategy to an article from a printed mentor text of the teacher's choosing. This strategy can be extended to revising their own expository writing.
