The Grammar of Poetry
One of the best ways for students to develop an appreciation of poetry is to read the masters, learn the techniques, and pen their own verse. Here's a resource guide that encourages them to do just that! Offering examples from well-known writers, 30 lessons teach children to use meter, rhyme, similes, puns, personification, hyperbole, alliteration, and other figures of speech to create six original poems.
