poetry is caught not taught?

Question

how is poetry taught

Answer 1

in rhymes.

Answer 2

I teach poetry with an experiential approach. I have students explore poetry that interests them, about a topic that they choose.

In fairness, I do teach them about poetic elements (Rhyme, Rhythm, Form, Alliteration, etc.) so that they can discuss the elements of poetry with a greater understanding. I do this by providing examples of poems with these elements in them and modeling the process of discovering and describing these elements and their impact on the poems.

Because poetry reading and writing is so personal, I created assignments that allow students to explore types of poetry and poetic elements. They make a "guide to poetry" where they show 26 types of form poetry with definitions and examples, and definitions of poetic elements with examples.

Then they write their own poems and a reflective essay based on the process of poetry creation.

After they do that, they create a research-based poetry portfolio, in which they find poems related to a theme of their choosing. They investigate the author's lives and also write poetry critiques. As part of both of these assignments, students write their own poetry as well.

Let me know if you want the link to my poetry web quest or portfolio guidelines.
