In 2020 #THEBOOKCHAT & #TeachLivingPoets led a chat on Lena Khalaf Tuffaha لينا خلف تفاحة's collection Water & Salt. For those seeking a voice telling a story grounded in Palestine, you'll find a brave & complex personal & political guide in LKT's poems. Teaching resources here👊🏽 docs.google.com/document/d/1zG…

Today, we did a gallery walk of the 6 poems they can choose for their own analysis. They're all thematically linked, but I haven't told them how. They spent 5 minutes reading each poem and reacting on this sheet (developed by my love Scott Bayer #THEBOOKCHAT co-founder) docs.google.com/document/d/1Yf… 7/x
