Learn how to create a "culture of poetry" that demonstrates the power of words and strengthens the language lives of children.
Poetry Goes to School
is a comprehensive resource for teachers who want to fill their classrooms with poetry. The authors have expanded the territory covered in their previous book,
Mother Goose Goes to School
. In this rich collection, they have gathered and classified a remarkable collection of poetry and teaching strategies into a meaningful, manageable program.
The book is organized around eight inviting units: patterns, word play, nursery rhymes, ceremonies, images, voices, stories, and information. Each unit contains:
a description of the genre;
inviting lessons and tools for using them in classrooms;
sample poems to motivate language discussion;
ideas for exploring all forms of poetry with children.
Teachers can select from the wide range of response activities that will involve the children in reading, writing, role-playing and the arts. Assessment techniques for supporting the poetry program complement this inviting resource.
