Cadence and Rhythm With A Saskatchewan Voice

Setting The Stage
If you're from the prairie or not it doesn't matter: Bouchard's evocative book will take your breath away. Henry Ripplinger's brush matches the cadence of the poetry stroke for stroke.

Response Stance
Invite students to mark particular words and phrases that:
  • Exemplify the rhythm of the dialogue style
  • Resonate with their prior prairie experiences and bring forth a sense of nostalgia. Record words on Harvesting Of Words page of your portfolio.
