Poetry as Part and Parcel of Your Basic Language Experience.

Johnston, Ellen Turlington

The teaching of poetry can be used as a language experience approach to develop good writing skills in elementary and high school students. This paper discusses the techniques a "poet-in-residence" employed to help students create poems and, indirectly, to teach the function of such writing skills as parts of speech, punctuation, and correct word usage. Examples of student poems are included. (RL)
