The Development of a High School Poetry Writing Program from Selected Writings of Erik Erikson, Kenneth Koch, and Theodore Roethke.
Jacobs, Albert Luck, Jr.
In this study, a program for teaching poetry writing in secondary schools is derived from Kenneth Koch's and Theodore Roethke's ideas, and from Erik Erikson's model of adolescent human processes. A review of related literature defines three major approaches to the teaching of poetry writing: models, activities, and models and activities combined. (Koch's principles are a comprehensive example of the models-and-activities approach.) Separate chapters examine Erikson's philosophy, Koch's and Roethke's theories as they relate to Erikson's model, and the application of these theoretical notions to actual writing assignments. (KS)
