Abstract

Knotted Knowledge by Erica L. Kennard (Poetry; Bilingual , Culturally Responsive Literature) Songs: Library Love and R.E.A.D. was created in a school library, which the requirements for the project constituted gathering interactive poems, followed by using the poems to motivate them and then finally using the favorite poems from the collection, creating movements, from which the dance would begin. Our Library Love Poetry Contest strengthened the love for the library by getting Poems from students, parents, teachers, and staff. Now everyone is excited about the Library Love Anthology. The music for the Rap was produced by Barry Ford, is full of rhythmic beats that strengthens the remembrance of the poem and the concept being conveyed. The Rap explores the Reading Process, culturally responsive interactions, and dedication to being successful on standardize test.
