On this date, March 26, in history one great poet was born, and another passed away.

In 1874, poet Robert Frost was born in San Francisco.

In 1892,poet Walt Whitman died in Camden, N.J.

As today marks the anniversary of the birth of a great poet and death of another, I remembered reading the works of Walt Whitman and Robert Frost in AP English class in high school. They wrote their verses to vast audiences and included aspects of nature in their poetry. While Whitman praised himself and life, Frost developed a philosophical view in his poetry that life was a tragedy. A Clear Midnight and The Road Not Taken are two of the favorites.

Mobile Ed's reading and writing assemblies educate students through a variety of methods that make learning fun while at the same time, being entertaining! Where was Mobile Ed when I was growing up? It sure would have helped me not to fall asleep through the 600 pages of Moby Dick!

To assist students in becoming enthusiastic about the power of words, Mobile Ed offers a variety of assemblies for schools. Our Young Authors Day is an all school assembly performed by a classically trained Mime artist introducing students to the "art of silence" in which students write stories for the performer to act out.

Meanwhile, Reading: More Than Words creates a fun environment for students to explore the world of literature, through magical illusions, dramatic storytelling, and exciting props.

Playing on both words and history, Books Made The Man:Lincoln and Reading introduces students to some of the books Mr. Lincoln eagerly read as a boy and continued to pore over throughout his life.
