What a delightful mapmaking poem and challenge to make one's own map. Maybe you'll share this with students. Have a great new school year, building relationships and maps for where to go together.
I hope this might be an assignment for your students, Linda, and love the idea of teaching your pencil! It's wonderful to imagine our own created journeys! Wishing you a grand start to the school year!

I love this poem that leads me on a map of the imagination. I especially like the stanza that begins, “Teach your pencil twists and turns and mountains-“.
