Poetry Book Club: Three Poems in One Class

Poetry Book Club: Three Poems in One Class

A single class for ages 10 to 14 who think they do not like poetry, and those who do. Children read three short poems aloud and discover how sound, image and surprise make a poem work.

Class Experience

The teacher picks three contrasting poems: one funny, one vivid, one thoughtful. Each is read aloud twice, and children say what they noticed before any explaining happens. The teacher introduces a few terms only when they help. Children finish by writing two lines in the style of their favorite.

How classes work

This is a single 50-minute live class with up to 5 learners. The teacher demonstrates, learners take part, and everyone shares at the end.
