Poetry Workshop

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern
Usually when I tell my students that we are going to learn how to write poems, some of them say, “I can’t write a poem,” or “Yuck, Poetry!.” By the end of the workshop, which takes about 2-3 weeks, most of the kids realize that they can in fact write all sorts of poems and they even like it.

By Retta London of Rainbow City Learning
By far, the best idea I have ever found to create better writers is to make sure that kids are writing every day. Good writers are people who write.
