Find useful tips and insight to share with your students on poetry
You
can order Elementary Poetry. I would share this with your Principal first
because the schools should pay for this. Go to
www.TeachingPoint.org. The book is broken up into months so you'll know exactly what to
teach and how to do it. Along with this is an Introduction to Poetry, Complete
Lesson Plans, Pacing Guide, Syllabus, Teacher workbook, student workbook, and a
power point for students to add their poetry to.
