I’m sharing facts about 5 notable poets and I have a free poetry printable.
Teaching poetry is a rewarding experience although I didn’t feel that way in the beginning.
Too, poetry can be complex, but it doesn’t have to start that way.
And many other subjects can be taught alongside poetry to understand the period poetry was written, how events affected the language of the time and to understand the feelings of poets.
Besides, poetry can be anything from silly rhymes to a deep reflection of emotions.
Children can be as creative as they want to be and even phrases or a string of words count.
Some kids and adults can be intimidated but start by learning some facts about iconic poets as a gentle introduction to poetry.
