Teaching Poetry
Books
The following books are available to borrow.
Outspoken by Sara Holbrook and Micheal Salinger (These are the poets who will come and do the workshops with students if we get funding!)
Practical Poetry by Sara Holbrook
Wham! It's a Poetry Jam by Sara Holbrook
Lesson Plans
The links below will take you to sites for ideas for teaching poetry, if you choose not to use Sara Holbrooks methods in the book above.
Performance Poetry
The link below can be used to show your students some examples of what Slam Poetry looks and sounds like. We will not have a "slam", since our students will not be competing. Our students will simply be offering their poems in a Poetry Jam.
Teachers: you will want to preview any of these before you show them to your students!
