Watch what happens when you integrate poetry into math, science, language arts, and social studies. Student interest levels heighten. You bring new insights to these subjects and you help students develop an appreciation of the uniqueness of poetry as an art and as a form of communication. This book helps you find and use poetry to teach children to think and express themselves more clearly in all subjects. Each chapter in this how-to guide identifies poems and describes how they can be used to enhance specific classes or thematic units and suggests activities that relate to the class or theme. Also provided are bibliographic lists of the poems or collections used, plus additional sources of poetry.
