Grades 3–12
PoetryEducatorAt 826, we view poetry as an incredible tool to explore the infinite power and possibility of writing. Poetry is woven through nearly all our content and curricula, as it is a genre that inherently fosters a culture of creativity.
This Educator Tool is designed to support and inspire you and your students wherever you are in your poetry journey. You’ll find strategies to help students learn and practice certain poetic forms, as well as strategies that empower them to break the “rules” of poetry. You’ll find lessons that use poetry as a way to reflect on one’s identity, as well as lessons that tap into poetry’s power to help us visualize and realize societal change.
However you use this tool, we hope it shows your students a new side of poetry, one that they can use to further develop and share their voices with the world.
