Rowman & Littlefield Writing and Understanding Poetry for Teachers and Students A Hearts Craft by Suzanne Keyworth, Cassandra Robison
Grounded In Craft, This Book Was Composed On Three Premises: That The Study And Modeling Of Great Poems Is Integral To Understanding Poetry And Learning To Write Poems, That Scaffolded Learning Builds A Writer'S And A Reader'S Confidence And Knowledge Base And Increases Learning, And That Teachers And Facilitators Of Poetry Can And Should Build Learning Environments We Call "Our Hearts In A Safe Place." Each Chapter Contains An Introduction To A Main Focus, New Terms, A Model Poem, An Explication, Short Prompts Heuristic To Each Chapter'S Focus, And A Model Exercise. Student Poem Samples Are Included In Each Chapter. The Last Chapter Discusses Syllabi, Portfolios And Alternate Grading. A Heart'S Craft Differs From Other Poetry" How To Books" Because It Combines Art With Pedagogy In A Unique And Effective Fashion.
