Reading and responding to poetry
de Patrick Dias · Publicada por primera vez en 1996
"Most students and just as many adults, if quizzed, would confess that they don't expect to understand a poem on their own, and rarely, if ever, choose to read one. In Reading and Responding to Poetry, Dias offers ways to counter these negative expectations and create a dynamic environment in which students can learn to appreciate poetry - in their own way."--BOOK JACKET. "Dias recognizes the importance poetry can play in students' understanding of literature and in their overall education. He has developed strategies to help teachers encourage students to follow their own instincts when reading poetry. In part, these strategies demand that both students and teachers discard any preconceptions about poetry and the way it should be studied."--BOOK JACKET. "This book opens up a much-neglected area of curriculum - the teaching of poetry in the context of reader response. With its unique focus on the reading strategies of adolescents and its depiction of a program that takes these strategies into account, Reading and Responding to Poetry is essential to any teacher seeking to plant an enduring love of poetry in students' lives."--BOOK JACKET.
