This is just to say. (The scholarship of teaching and learning).(teaching secondary English teachers to teach poetry)
Abstract
In this article I discuss methods of teaching poetry to prospective English teachers and to students in secondary English classes. I focus first on ways of undoing writers' fears of writing, fears perpetrated by former English teachers themselves. Secondly, I recommend Kenneth Koch's book, Rose, Where Did You Get That Red? - for use in English education programs and in the English classroom. Finally, I provide specific examples from Koch's book to highlight his approach to the teaching of poetry.
