There is no writing study in which students can achieve more success and gain more confidence than with a poetry genre study. Students are natural poets because they look at the world with interest, wonder, and excitement! In order to support them in becoming successful writers of poetry, we need to encourage this natural inclination and provide them with examples of poems that are accessible and can serve as models for their own writing.
One of the most important things teachers can do to help young writers achieve success with poetry is to find great poems to serve as models and guide our teaching. Consider these tips when looking for poems to anchor your genre study. > Finding Poems to Guide Teaching
