- Summary:
-
Teachers can help students learn the art of good poetry writing in a number of ways. One is to offer students a list of poetry standards that ask students to consider the poem's conciseness, clarity of thought, and imagery; the use of nouns and verbs, and of metaphors; the sound of words; the structure, tone, and control of the poem; and the reader. Other ways are to create a list of poets to work with and to read at least one book on the craft of creative writing. The teacher can also provide the student with a list of words not to use--overused nouns, overused or opinionated adjectives and adverbs, and assorted cliches--and offer students advice from famous writers, editors, and publishers. To avoid overwhelming the beginner, the teacher should start small, focusing on one skill at a time and building upon it, while presenting models of good poetry. Finally, the teacher should encourage students to enter contests or to try publishing in a publication so they sense that they are writing for an audience other than the teacher. (HOD)
