Check out Ted Kooser, I'm a groupie of his ever since I heard him read under a starry night in the mountains, his poetry is understandable and moving.

Fun! <br /><br />When I was a teenager, I came across John Ciardi's book on poetry entitled How Does A Poem Mean? Such a great book! But I don't know if it's in print anymore.<br />However, there is a really fun book of poetry in print that might appeal to your teenagers. I think it makes a good intro to the fun that poetry can be. It's called Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by Paul Fleischman. It won the Newbery Medal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-49745757815736962852009-11-01T21:46:29.444-06:002009-11-01T21:46:29.444-06:00I loved this poetry post.

I'm going to share your post with my daughter, sister, and brother - all teachers. <br /><br />Thank you Molly.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-21160111769856863162009-11-01T14:32:06.560-06:002009-11-01T14:32:06.560-06:00I am in catch-up mode as well, having been gone fo...I am in catch-up mode as well, having been gone for the last week. I guess I admitted defeat in reading all the posts I missed, but can't even catch up with the ones that have been published since I've been home! Plus I have book reviews to write...<br /><br />I have to give you all kinds of credit in the poetry arena. I am a TOTAL IMBECILE when it comes to poetry. It intimidates me, I have had virtually no schooling on it, and I know I am leaving this genre of literature on the table as a result. I need to make this some kind of goal for next year...Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-23890436902754920322009-11-01T12:06:48.909-06:002009-11-01T12:06:48.909-06:00Molly, that video is something awesome!

If you are interested, Mary Oliver also wrote <i>A Poetry Handbook</i> and Robert Pinsky, <i>The Sounds of Poetry</i>, both of which are straightforward and unpedantic.<br />Sorry--but I get all tingly now at the sight(or thought) of poetry, having avoided it for many many years because <i>my high school English teachers did not teach it</i> (I think they feared it also) and it scared me. You are giving your students a gift beyond price by offering them poetry...how lucky they are!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-38794944354444190972009-11-01T12:06:21.375-06:002009-11-01T12:06:21.375-06:00I am sure you will do a great job teaching this un...I am sure you will do a great job teaching this unit Molly! When I was a stay at home, homeschooling mom, I was constantly amazed at all the resources out there for teaching help on just about any subject. I loved doing poetry units with my kids--although I never did a formal study at the high school level. I did teach several little poetry classes for the elementary level and loved it! My friends were always volunteering me to teach one at the various co-ops we belonged to over the years. I am going to go check out the youtube you mentioned. Slam Poetry is a term I just heard of recently--definitely different!<br />*smiles* Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.com
