Learners of all ages hear the words “Today we’re going to start poetry” and begin their plans to drop out of school. It is not the teacher's fault! Use this resource to help young scholars understand the genre of poetry and why it is important. Your young poets develop their ideas from multiple poets. Then they produce visual documents and writing projects that expand the activity. There is a lot of material here, so it is easy to select what would work best for you and your poets.
