Rhyme and Reason: Poetry for the Heart and Head.

Abstract

What aspect of your teaching do you consider most important? Would you say textbooks, or technology, or even planning periods? For me the answer is easy. Poetry. I could not imagine teaching a day without poetry in my classroom. It starts our day, shapes our day, and sometimes helps us get through the day. It doesn’t take long for students to be captivated by the allure of poetry once it begins to weave its magic in the classroom. In this article I explore the considerable benefits of reading poetry, why poetry is often neglected and some of the ways I bring poetry and children together.
