More Poetry, Please (Practical Reflections).
Robb, Laura
New Advocate, v3 n3 p197-203 Sum 1990
Describes how one instructor incorporates daily poetry "breaks" in middle school. Explains that students begin by listening to Eve Merriam's "How to Eat a Poem," then imitate poems first in pantomime, then with sound and action. Notes that students later write and trade poems, and end the term with a poetry festival. (SG)
