Some Poetry Teaching Resources

Hello everyone

In this post I'm going to make a reflection about the last lesson. It was focused on Poetry. I would like to research about how e can change the perspective of this because most of children do not feel attraction with poetry and I want to give to some resources to get the maximum efficiency.

Poetry consisted on a type of literature, also it is written in verse, as opposed to prose, often written in metrical lines. These written are called poems. They usually have a rhythm, rhyme, metaphor, and other such artistic techniques to express an idea, feelings, or a story. But all is this, often is very bored and frustrated to children because they do not understand the vocabulary that use or how they have to do to create one.

Have you ever wondered how to get your students excited about poetry?

The Poetry Teaching Resources offers a lot of variety of materials to help us and our students to teach this.

Here you'll find graphic organizers and other resources to assist you and your students in exploring the power of poetry.

·         Poetic Thoughts Graphic Organizer

·         Literary Moods

·         Literary Mood Ring Graphic Organizer

·         Friendship Cinquain Activity

·         Poetry Terminology Cards

•  

Also, there are some books that can help it. For example:

·         Poetry Matters by Ralph Fletcher

Poetry Matters is the most amazing book that as teacher as students can feel a little comfortable. It will change the way you think about poetry. It is ideal to use to in second year. The author shows why´s important in writing poetry because poets can break the rules so kids who normally have trouble writing seem to excel in writing free verse.

·         Poetry Books by Kristine O'Connell George

Kristine O'Connell George is another favorite children's author and poet. She writes simple yet beautiful poems that reach out to kids and connect with them.

I hope that like my post.  THANCK YOU
