Looking for new ways to engage and inspire middle school students to read and write? Poetry workshop is an effective way for you to provide students with opportunities for meaningful reading and writing. Poetry Workshop for Middle School: Activities That Inspire Meaningful Language Learning shows teachers how to incorporate poetry workshop into the language arts curriculum. The book provides a practical approach to classroom activities that allows students to investigate language through reading, writing, listening to, and discussing poetry. Authors Ambrosini and Morretta explain the design of poetry workshop and present 17 workshop activities in a user-friendly format that includes objectives, procedures, student samples, poems by well-known poets, and assessment techniques. The activities tap into students background knowledge about poetry and offer them poetry-writing techniques and insight into what makes a good poem. As students achieve a comfort zone with poetry writing, the activities offer opportunities that encourage students individual writing styles, highlight what professional writers do, and make connections to students own poetry writing. The appendixes provide valuable resources to help teachers instruction and students learning. This book will help you use poetry workshop in your classroom to inspire students to become readers who write poetry and writers who read poetry.
