By focusing on children? poetry that is less complex, this module attempts to spark interest in poetry and build student confidence in deciphering it. The student tour introduces students in grades 3-6 to different types of poetry and a few well-known poets and their work in a fun and enjoyable way?ia the Internet! In order to make the tour as enjoyable as possible for students, many of the poems selected incorporate humor. Also, a section on nursery rhymes serves as an example of the simplest poems and builds students?confidence in their ability to read and comprehend poetry. |
