What we learn from teaching poetry



My English A Literature students on
their experience teaching poetry:

One needs:
Confidence, Discipline and Engagement

It is important to have:
Interaction with the audience, their involvement
and mutual respect

One has to like poetry

One must be prepared!

One thinks the thoughts of someone else

One must use visuals and have a good understanding
of the poem and background knowledge

Openmindedness is a sine qua non and so is
the ability to accept constructive criticism
