For the Love of Poetry: Literacy Scaffolds, Extension Ideas, and More
Book details
Summary
Description
Poetry writing, says Nancy Lee Cecil, helps students build self-esteem and express themselves in their own way. In For the Love of Language, the author showed how literacy scaffolds can release the poet in every child. Now, in For the Love of Poetry, the author features 35 new literacy scaffolds. Each provides a description, an easy-to-follow pattern, lead-in activities, and two example poems written by students. Each scaffold also includes cross-curricular extension activities―including math, language arts, social studies, art, and music―based on the ideas students write in their poetry. For the Love of Poetry will inspire confidence in students of all ages and backgrounds, both as writers and as people.
