For the Good of the Earth and Sun is Good for All!

I am a senior studying elementary education at the University of Florida. I practically used this wonderful book as my bible for methods and strategies of how to teach poetry to young and/or reluctant students. This book is a clear and concise journey of how to "prepare the soil" and get children writing poetry! The book includes extensive examples of student writing and is highly recommended to anyone teaching (or who is planning to teach) a language arts curriculum, students, and even parents who want to encourage the writing of their children.
