The Art of Teaching Poetry

In our special study, we examined the art of teaching poetry within the classroom. Our framing questions for this project were why poetry? Why does this matter? And why do children need to learn about it? We researched, discussed with each other, interviewed people we admired, and even taught a workshop to the children participating in Project Coach. Our goal throughout this process was to develop our own opinions on the importance of teaching poetry, as well as pedagogy that we can take into our future classrooms.
