Teaching Poetry

"Too often the teaching of poetry is divided into the reading of poetry and the writing of poetry. This division is strange and illogical because the two activities are not only linked, but intermeshed. Teaching Poetry shows how indispensable reading poetry is to writing it and vice versa. Divided into three sections, the first section comprises advice from Sedgwick's own experience of reading poetry to children. The second section contains case studies of children responding to poetry and the final section examines case studies of children writing poems."Sedgwick, Fred is the author of 'Teaching Poetry', published 2003 under ISBN 9780826464231 and ISBN 0826464238.
