| Summary |
Helping Students Learn to Write Poetry is a sensitive and straightforward guide designed for teachers of students in grades two through senior high school. The book explains exactly how teachers can introduce the writing of non-structured, non-rhyming poetry through the reading and appreciation of appropriate poems combined with techniques to "jump start" the student's own writing. It points out that students will be liberated by the discovery that poetry does not have to rhyme and this will encourage them to explore the other aspects of language that make poetry unique. The author provides a variety of techniques for developing students' sensitivity to the "sound" and "look" of a poem and the use of vivid, concrete language to convey their feelings into words |
