I really like what you did with the idea and how you developed it.<br /><br />As far as translating is concerned, my Italian is almost non-existent. I got the first three words and had to look up the rest.

The meaning is right. When I translated the line I used "wet"; what is the difference, the variance?

Students (especially younger students) can be asked to make a collage and then write a poem about it. (There are lots of options to tailor this to specific groups.)<br /><br />Also great for thinking creatively through a long, cold winter day!<br /><br />Thanks, Adele!Jamie Morrisnoreply@blogger.com
