SEC: poetry lesson plans

[Jill Fulton <JLOVETTFULTON@PROVIDENCEHIGH.ORG>]

A first-year English teacher wants to collaborate with me on teaching a
lesson on poetry. She isn't sure exactly what she wants the kids to do, but
she's very open to suggestions. She does want the students to give an oral
presentation at the conclusion of their research on a poet and a poem
written by the poet. She wants me to teach them "how to research." I have
some ideas for suggestions for her, but I wanted to ask you all if you had
done any spectacular lessons with poets/poetry that you would be willing to
share. We do have a couple poetry databases that I will guide the students
in using. The students are all freshmen. Thanks for your input.
