I particularly like this website as it has a section for educators, which might be useful for entry teachers like us. The section includes tips for teaching poetry. The tips are listed in a systematic way and it is easy for one to understand the suggestions on how to go about introducing the poetry to the class. Furthermore, the suggested activities are rather interesting (like making greeting cards with poems inside and creating a poetry book) and I believe that Secondary One students might be more interested in poetry after engaging in fun activities as suggested by the website. Furthermore, there are also some teaching resources available and we can model or get some inspiration from the lesson plans provided.

I thought this site is very extensive in providing resources and exposing an individual to various poets' works. They are very meticulous in their categorisation of poetry as well.
ReplyDeleteI liked their forum/ discussion page a lot. It has a wide variety of channels for discussion on different topics. To get my future students excited and connected to others reading poetry, I may even get them to post their favourite poem or a poem they have recently read under the "favourite poems and poet" channel:)
