April is National Poetry month, and we're kicking it off with a sweet story about the power of a poem. How do we help students appreciate poetry and understand the beauty of words? How do we help them see themselves as poets and authors? In this episode, Julie and Laura talk about incorporating poetry into any content. Jennifer's story about Mrs. Rosen is the focus of the episode, and it's a reminder of the importance of exposing students to many kinds of writing. If you've been thinking about how to bring poetry into your content, this episode is for you! And let's all write a poem about something we love!
You can find Jennifer's story (and all the stories we share on the pod) in the Lessons That Last book, It's available at your favorite bookseller. Check it out on Amazon here: https://bit.ly/3OiZr38
