Image Source: Poets.org (http://www.poets.org/)The website I chose to add to my blog is Poets.org.
(http://www.poets.org/). This site is a product of the
Academy of American Poets, which was created to “support
American poets at all stages of their careers and to foster the
appreciation of contemporary poetry” (from the Poets.org
website). On this site, one can search for a particular poem
or poet. There are daily poems, weekly features, poems for
all occasions, and a calendar of poetry events across the
nation.
One section of the website is devoted to educators and
includes curriculum units, lesson plans, essays on teaching,
a discussion forum, poems to teach, tips for teaching, links
to other resources, information on classroom Poetry Read-a-
Thons, and a National Poetry Month page.
I located this site by searching WorldCat for internet
resources. I searched for “poetry” AND “classroom” with a
limiter of English language. Poets.org was one of 54 hits
returned.
