For a period in my career, I came to hate poetry. Students never knew how to handle it, I could package the lessons correctly, and I never knew quite what I was teaching with poetry. Overtime, I have worked through these struggles. I have developed a system that helps all students approach poetry. Now, instead of hating poetry, teaching poetry is a classroom superpower! Today, I want to share 5 creative lessons for teachers that hate poetry! #PoetryIsFun #TeachingPoetry #SecondaryELA #English Story Elements, Crash Course Literature, Character Analysis Graphic Organizer, Language Arts Resources, Ela Resources, Teaching Poetry, Poetry Lessons, Literary Theory

When introducing literary criticism, biographical criticism is often where I begin. Over the years, students have often engaged in biographical criticism without knowing its name. With these poems, novels, short stories, and dramas, students have countless opportunities to practice biographical criticism. With this critical lens, students also have the chance to practice research skills, historical criticism, and close reading. Interpreting text through this critical lens is perfect for AP Lit!

Plus, associating learning with movement is a great retrieval strategy. Gallery walks have become one of my favorite strategies for meaningful movement. Gallery walks promote motion but not chaos. The clear procedure keeps students feeling safe enough to take academic risks. Gallery walks promote collaboration. Teachers can easily differentiate too!
