A Poetry Workshop in Print--A Poetic Year Ahead
Hopkins, Lee Bennett
Teaching Pre K-8, v36 n3 p59 Nov-Dec 2005
This column cites five poets (Pat Mora, Jane Yolen, Lilian Moore, Gary Soto, and J. Patrick Lewis) that will be highlighted in the January to May 2006 issues. This information can be used to begin a Poet's Fan Club in the classroom. Groups of students can select a poet in order to prepare for a forthcoming Poet of the Month display. Another idea would be to set up a permanent "Where the Poets Are" bulletin board and post a map of the United States with poets' names printed on construction paper. Strings of yarn can lead to the state where poets live and/or wrote. Interesting facts can be added as groups research additional biographic information.
