Poetry Presentation

I thoroughly enjoyed the poetry group’s presentation. I was impressed at the number of hands-on activities this group used in teaching their portion. I especially liked that they spent the extra time and effort to bring in magazines, glue, scissors, and other creative supplies necessary for the class to complete the assignments. I really enjoyed the activity where we had to cut out words from magazines or newspapers and use the words to form a poem. This was my favorite activity because I got to use my creative mind in two ways: I made a poem out of words, and I made my poem look good on pink construction paper. The only complaint that I have about this group is that I would have liked to hear more about the book. Do you recommend that I buy this book as a college student who is interested in English and poetry? Do you recommend that all teachers purchase this book? I would have liked to hear more commentary on what the group read, and whether or not they found it useful overall. The activities we did, however, were so creative and unique that based on that alone, I might purchase the book. Thank you for the experience!
