Spine Poems in March

My students had just finished three plus hours of ELL testing (our annual testing). I could not imagine giving them another book  essay to read or write. We needed a break. 

Poetry!!!!

I love spine poems! This past week it has been fun reading the different spine poems that writers have posted on their blogs. I decided that I could tackle spine poems, and at the same time highlight different books for my students. Maybe a cover or a title would spark some one's interest.

Have you seen the Namesake movie?
One of my 11th grade ELL girls considers
My Perfect Life her favorite book.

Hostage has been a good choice
 for my lower high school readers.

Kendra and The Beast have been borrowed more than once or twice.
Soul Stealer is gaining interest.

We needed a little competition during the class time as well. After all, students were coming from a long test, and lethargy was settling in. So I wrote a list of book titles on the board in random order. Students had the task of creating a spine poem. They were allowed to add prepositions to their poem.

Here is the winner spine poem by S.G. without prepositions.

Now imagine how different this poem could be by using different prepositions. Which prepositions would you use?
