Q5- What are some of your successful ideas for teaching poetry? #TeachWriting

bkuhl2you Mar 8 @ 9:33 PM EST

@tompanarese Maybe have them write an entire essay in haiku? The haiku series is a nice twist to the easy-way-outers. #TeachWriting

So many ways to engage learners through poetry. Lift a line, build on a word (check out @LauraShovan's #foundobjectpoems. #teachwriting

JenMDteach Mar 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

#TeachWriting A5: use student as well as prof examples - also focus on one element per piece: word choice, line breaks, etc.

bkuhl2you Mar 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

AngelaStockman Mar 8 @ 9:46 PM EST

A7: Not sure, honestly. I think it needs to take up a more permanent and consistent space in our classrooms. Not an event? #teachwriting

journeynorthED Mar 8 @ 9:46 PM EST

A7 Fill the halls and walls with Ss poems. Make it part of each day, not just a one-week unit. #teachwriting

tompanarese Mar 8 @ 9:46 PM EST

A7: Keep doing it throughout the year, even if it's in class. Don't make poetry a "one-off" thing. #TeachWriting

bkuhl2you Mar 8 @ 9:46 PM EST

A7 - Instead of a "poetry unit," consider ways it can be included in other (thematic) units. #teachwriting

lisahughes196 - Moderator Mar 8 @ 9:47 PM EST

I like how @Georgiaheard1 recommends using poems between transitions in your class and in the school day. #TeachWriting

journeynorthED Mar 8 @ 9:48 PM EST

Start each day with a poem. Ss illustrate, recite, perform, respond, take home and share. #teachwriting
