As a first grade teacher I think that I had planned to teach my students that scientists and poets are a lot alike because of their observational qualities. I plan to compare the two equally and chart it for them to see. Modeling and then allowing them their independence.<BR/>Thanks for sharing this.Sarah Amickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448996968479036346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-639318695659401072007-08-09T21:10:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:10:00.000-04:00Tricia,It's interesting you published this post at...Tricia,<BR/><BR/>It's interesting you published this post at this time. For Poetry Friday, I'm reviewing a new book of poems by Joanne Ryder that would be great to use in the science curriculum. I think it's a collection you'd like.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-3608326393044951982007-08-09T08:07:00.000-04:002007-08-09T08:07:00.000-04:00Maybe you would like to see how I used the Science...Maybe you would like to see how I used the <I>Science and Metaphor</I> article in my blog:<BR/><BR/>http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/2007/08/scientists-need-poets.htmlBonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-4424270056983527732007-08-09T06:47:00.000-04:002007-08-09T06:47:00.000-04:00Thanks, Tricia, for the link to the Science and Me...Thanks, Tricia, for the link to the <I>Science and Metaphor</I> essay.

I like the idea of using "metaphor" to develop layers of meaning and get at complexities in science. My favorite science writers use metaphors expertly. Although Diane Ackerman and Natalie Angier's are more poetic, Richard Dawkins and Stephen Pinker are also masters of metaphor and are able to explain very abstract and difficult science AMY Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452785773591343577noreply@blogger.com
