Description
A delightful introduction to poetry packed with information (forms of poetry, literary techniques, hearing sounds, and much more) and a variety of interesting projects sprinkled with listen to/watch options. The content is written in an easy-to-understand manner with cartoon-like, entertaining illustrations. Each section has a few Words to Know with definitions thoroughly acquainting you with the language of poetry as well as biographical sketches of well-known poets. QR codes are scattered through the book, often attached to the biographical information which allow you to hear/watch a poet reading his/her poetry or to read a poem from a particular poet. Projects are do-able and inviting such as a magnetic poem, a poetry journal, and poetry equations. A couple of chapters were unexpected and intriguing: Poetry, Music, and Math (math, really?) as well as Your Brain on Poetry. 92 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
Publisher's Description of Explore Poetry! With 25 Great Projects
Poems can be silly, serious, or fun, just like kids! Whether it's the sing-song rhythm of a limerick, the serendipitous magic of a found poem, the deceptive simplicity of a haiku, or the easy familiarity of an acrostic poem, children are charmed by poetry. And what's more fun than reading poetry? Writing it! In Explore Poetry! With 25 Great Projects children have fun learning about different forms of poetry while delving into different literary techniques such as personification, metaphor, and alliteration, all of which are discussed in a simple and accessible way.
