Response Stance
Respond to Rudyard Kipling's If.
How did his beginning interest you?
How did the ending resonate with you?
Atwell (2006) states that if a poem were completely original, we would not be able to read it or understand it. Every poem alludes to previous poems and poets. There may also be times when something you see, hear, taste, even smell provides a sudden flashback into your childhood. What mentor texts have inspired you?
How will you bring your own voice and your own vision to your mentor texts?
