April is National Poetry Month, and the Academy of American Poets has 30 suggestions on how one can celebrate, including several that teachers can use. We especially like their “Teach This Poem” program. Produced for K-12 educators, “Teach This Poem” features one poem a week from the Academy’s online poetry collection, accompanied by interdisciplinary resources and activities designed to help teachers quickly and easily bring poetry into the classroom. The series is curated by Educator in Residence, Dr. Madeleine Fuchs Holzer, and is available for free via email. You can click here to sign up.
