ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Poetry has been called the neglected genre. Unfortunately, yes. Yet its potential for teaching important comprehension skills—summarizing, synthesis, inference, and visualizing--is simply unmatched when compared to other literary genres. What’s more, poetry, because of its brevity, is a game-changer for struggling readers who labor through long texts. In this session, participants will learn how to inject new energy into their existing ELA curriculum by using poetry in fresh, clever ways.
