Selecting Appropriate Poetry Haiku
Trying to begin selecting poetry for use in the classroom can seem like a daunting task. With so many styles, authors, and subjects, it can
seem very overwhelming. I chose to create a haiku on selecting appropriate poetry so that the very heart of the information could be quickly shared. While I could write pages on which poems to use in the classroom when using them for reading and writing instruction, I felt that the information shared was most pertinent to selecting great, meaningful poetry. I chose to accompany my poem with images of books that would be good to use with students. The first two books were recommended by Janine Certo in her article.
