For a period in my career, I came to hate poetry. Students never knew how to handle it, I could package the lessons correctly, and I never knew quite what I was teaching with poetry. Overtime, I have worked through these struggles. I have developed a system that helps all students approach poetry. Now, instead of hating poetry, teaching poetry is a classroom superpower! Today, I want to share 5 creative lessons for teachers that hate poetry! #PoetryIsFun #TeachingPoetry #SecondaryELA #English Middle School Language Arts, Language Arts Lessons, Crash Course Literature, Instructional Planning, Literary Elements, National Poetry Month, Teaching Poetry, British Literature
