Teaching poetry? Here is a great poem for starters and a helpful reading strategy from Sheridan Blau. The strategy is great for all learners in middle and high school, especially those not comfortable with poetry and/or not comfortable responding to literature. Plus, students are expected to read the poem at least three times, which helps with fluency. But before reading about the strategy, just enjoy the poem :). Some People Like Poetry Wislawa Szymborska Some people-- that is not everybody Not even the majority but the minority. Not counting the schools where one must, and the poets themselves, there will be perhaps two in a thousand. Like-- but we also like chicken noodle soup, we like compliments and the color blue, we like our old scarves, we like to have our own way, we like to pet dogs. Poetry-- but what is poetry. More than one flimsy answer has been given to that question. And I don't know, and don't know, and I cling to it as to a life line. -translated by Walter Whipple Reading Strategy 1. Provide student pairs with pens having three different colors of ink and a copy of the poem. 2. Provide directions to students for their first reading: a. Read the poem silently and individually, and as you read write responses about what you notice or questions you have in one color of ink. b. When you’ve finished this first reading, turn the poem over and write a statement saying what you think the poem is about. c. Share your notes, questions, and statement with your partner. 3. Provide directions to students for their second reading: Repeat step 3, using a different color ink for writing. 4. Provide final directions to students: a. Repeat step 3, using the final color ink for writing. b. In addition to writing a statement describing what you think the poem is about, make a comment on how your understanding of the poem changed with the three readings. 5. Have a volunteer read the poem aloud to the whole class and discuss readings; lead a whole class discussion about the poem and how multiple readings influenced the students’ understanding of it. When trying this out in a classroom, what challenges might arise? For more strategies like this, take a look at the following book:
