What a delightful article! Lots of great, specific ideas for what works and how to immerse kids in poetry and, also, to teach and assess poetry writing with ease and enjoyment. Of course, I was thrilled that you and your students have utilized my book Kids' Poems: Teaching Third and Fourth Graders To Love Writing Poetry. Hope the students publish an anthology for the classroom library.
We definitely are. We had our presentation today with parents and one of the kids asked if we were going to have copies for everyone to include in their poetry folders! I've got lots of copying in my future! :)
That sounds wonderful!
