Literature and ESL teachers.
Teaching poetry is like walking on shallow waters. Can poetry be taught? if it can, what do we mean by teaching it? that students enjoy it, that they learn to see the artcraft in it? that they don't hate our classes each time we come up with poems? Why do international exams insist on proposing poems to be analysed by teenagers? What kind of analysis are they expected to provide? We will try to examine all these questions and find ways of helping our students enjoy poetry with a relaxed, yet deep understanding of the genre.
- What is poetry? - Can poetry be taught? - Ways into poems: different activities to freshen up your classes and help students find their way into poems.
Workshop with pool of ideas and activities to help teachers lead the way in poetry classes.
