I believe that poetry is extremely overlooked in the education communication. Teacher's find it extremely threatening to teach poetry to their students but that shouldn't be the case. Poetry is a vital tool when it comes to teaching not only reading and writing, but all of the other subjects as well. It is important to incorporate poetry into all types of lessons whether it is used to introduce a lesson or as a final project to wrap one up. Exposing children to poetry at a young age is a great way to help them to develop both in literacy as well as other subjects.
In the classroom, poetry can be used in many different ways. Having students create poetry is a great way to help them to get their creativity flowing as well as helping their language to develop. Poetry can also be vital when it comes to history. Just like other types of writing over the years, poetry is just as important. Reading poetry from other time periods is a great way to get a look into those time periods and learn about their cultures and ways of life.
