Reverso Poems and NVC

Marilyn Singer has written three wonderful books of reverso poems (a unique poetry form she created) and we are using them to practice our Nonviolent Communication and using our Power Panels!

If you missed my series of posts about NVC last year, the links are below:


On Tuesday, I explained a reverso poem and then read a few examples:

    On with the Dance
    Birthday Suit
    Ready, Steady, Go!
    Bears in the News


Then we got out The No-Fault Zone Game and did Power Panels for Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It was a fun way to review the concepts!
