Poetry as a Road to Understanding Voice.
Britt, John F.
Teaching Education, v5 n1 p71-78 Fall-Win 1992
Students can learn to understand prose by carefully listening to the author's voice. The paper gives examples of prose in standard block form and in a poetic form, explaining why students find the poetic form more comprehensible. Students' awareness of rhetoric can be developed through the Myers Briggs inventory. (SM)
