Purposeful and Transparent
Students come to appreciate how authors craft their writing to be read and how readers bring meaning to a text, which enables them to read with expression.
Contextual
Students are given poetry websites to investigate and listen to poets reading their own work.
Building Expertise
Each person has multiple opportunities to encounter poetry, either by tape or by reading aloud and then choose poetry that they enjoy reading and would like to perform.
