Dr.Sylvia Vardell & Janet Wong have authored the book "Friday Poetry Anthology" that we will be utilizing district wide. Some tips for the use of the books are in this powerpoint.
3. Keys to remember are:

The main idea is to help your learner see and hear the poetic elements after enjoying the poem
through multiple readings-and to come through the “back door” to skills.
