Poets Under Glass: Poetry Writing Guidebook

By Marion Palm

Learn how to organize poetry writing workshops and give easy lessons for all age groups in this step-by-step method that accesses all the senses to write poetry. Supplementary information is included for advanced writers, with a glossary of terms to stimulate imagination and develop new skills.
Chapters are divided into easy to read steps leading up to holding a poetry-reading recital and/or producing an anthology of the work of the students. We are first introduced to what poetry is and then given specific instructions in five easy lessons that will get your students interested in writing poetry. These lessons can be used for any group or grade level. I have used these lessons for elementary students, for learning disabled students (with a short attention span), with high school students and with college students, adapting the lessons to the age group involved. I've also used these lessons in classrooms where English is a second language, and taught adults using this foolproof method of teaching poetry, using all five senses.
