We're recording our poems as part of a classroom podcast with the Nebraska Writing Project. Thanks for the example.<BR/><BR/>Jason McIntosh<BR/>University of Nebraska-LincolnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550517853959032096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-84205194924036850242008-04-01T15:16:00.000-05:002008-04-01T15:16:00.000-05:00Thanks for the compliment, Beth-- and for sharing ...Thanks for the compliment, Beth-- and for sharing that lovely story!Sylvia Vardellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570078181499700656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-5780208759572484782008-04-01T15:04:00.000-05:002008-04-01T15:04:00.000-05:00Dr. V - My stepchildren have just received Hungari...Dr. V - My stepchildren have just received Hungarian citizenship, so now they're dual citizens. It was important to their mother because it represented a very real end to the kind of life she lived growing up in Hungary under Soviet rule. When she became an American citizen ten years ago, the boys were so proud of her. The oldest's class recited part of <I>I hear America singing</I> when she brought the boys back to school from the ceremony, and they had a cake. I love the mashup! That's a poetry presentation strategy that would draw a reluctant high schooler out of a sulk so fast it would make his head spin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-22236347072270253352008-03-12T22:17:00.000-05:002008-03-12T22:17:00.000-05:00Hi, Joyce and Annie-- thank you for stopping by an...Hi, Joyce and Annie-- thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments!Sylvia Vardellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570078181499700656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-66020215171547757902008-03-12T18:03:00.000-05:002008-03-12T18:03:00.000-05:00I like the mash-up.

I've been thinking about citizenship lately as I am completing papers to become a permanent resident of Japan in order to be able to stay here with our children if something should happen to my husband. I'm not being asked to give up U.S. citizenship but the step has been one that I've put off for some time. Maybe there's a poem in there...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-24623505256623423402008-03-12T14:07:00.000-05:002008-03-12T14:07:00.000-05:00Sylvia, I love this melding of two poets who, I be...Sylvia, I love this melding of two poets who, I believe, would have seen eye-to-eye.
