A Better Way to Begin Again Together: The Value of a Comparative Approach to Teaching Poetry in School.
Walter, Colin
European Journal of Teacher Education, v16 n2 p179-90 1993
Symbiotic relationships exist between language, culture, and poetry. Successful classroom teaching acknowledges these relationships. Teaching poetry to children up to age 12 may be improved by addressing these relationships in initial teacher education. A research project involving teachers, student teachers, and children has explored these relationships and produced an appropriate pedagogy. (IAH)
