What are the most effective strategies for teaching poetry writing?

J'ai un jour lu quelque part que quand on apprend à écrire, on commence par pasticher avant de trouver son propre style. Donc, visiblement, il est crucial de lire avant de pouvoir s'initier à l'écriture parce que... "Pour savoir écrire, il faut avoir lu, et pour savoir lire, il faut savoir vivre." a dit Guy Debord Après avoir pris connaissance de la poésie sous ses différentes formes, vous pouvez alors choisir votre fa?on d'écrire particulière à vous, qui sera votre style. Ce n'est qu'en étant en contact avec la poésie qu'on peut arriver à l'écrire.

- Introduce students to a wide variety of poems from different eras and styles. - Discuss the elements of poetry such as rhyme, rhythm, imagery, and figurative language. - Analyze the meaning and themes of poems to deepen understanding. Example: Read and analyze Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" together as a class. Discuss the symbolism and the choices the speaker makes. Encourage students to share their interpretations and connect it to their own experiences.

Read poetry in massive amounts. Never forget how old someone like Baudelaire was when he created his now world famous works. You sit, after reading, and write what you feel, and then go back and arrange the words to better illustrate and fit those feelings. And then, read your work when it's done and either toss it or fall in love with it.

Studying and comprehending the works of accomplished poets can be advantageous. It provides an opportunity to dissect their compositions and observe the skillful application of various elements in their poetry. Composing poetry is an art that emanates from one's heart. To eloquently depict emotions in writing, one must genuinely feel the sentiment they aim to convey.

Teaching poetry writing can be a rewarding challenge. Start by fostering a creative and open environment where students feel encouraged to express themselves. Break down the elements of poetry, such as rhyme, rhythm, and imagery, and provide engaging examples. Encourage experimentation with various poetic forms to broaden their perspective. Incorporate peer feedback sessions to promote collaboration and constructive critique. Integrate technology, inviting students to explore digital platforms for sharing and publishing their work. Lastly, connect poetry to real-world contexts, helping students see its relevance and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the art form.

- Share well-crafted poems as models for students to learn from and emulate. - Highlight different poetic forms and structures, such as sonnets or haikus. - Showcase diverse voices and perspectives in poetry to inspire creativity. Example: Share Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise" as a model for powerful and empowering poetry. Discuss the use of repetition and metaphor. Encourage students to write their own poems that celebrate resilience and overcoming challenges.

Pour certains, il est important de recourir au rap qui est une autre forme de poésie en musique. Le rap met surtout l'accent sur les claquements sonores et la rime, qui peuvent être pertinents à regarder de près dans ses analyses.

For young children I recommend modeling the rhythm out loud. When I taught Poetry in my class I would read the poem aloud so that they could get familiar with the rhythm which is different from regular speech. Then I'd read a line and let them echo me in terms of expression, voice level and rhythm. I found that hearing themselves repeat the verses was helpful in establishing the pattern and rhythm of the poem. It was also an excellent listening tool which helped them to figure out the different lines in each verse and how they sounded. They could also produce similar lines for their own little poems based on the rhythm they echoed.

Poetry is about translating your emotions into words so the reader can connect with them. The creativity is limitless. Inspiration can be found all around.

I like adding metaphors in my poetry because it paints a clearer picture and evokes the emotional element. I also think it makes the poem more engaging and impactful. Using similes (words with "like" or "as") to compare also makes connections vivid and relatable.

- Create a supportive and non-judgmental environment for students to express themselves. - Encourage students to take risks, try new approaches, and explore their unique voices. - Provide opportunities for open-ended writing prompts and free verse poetry.

the very thought that you can teach someone to write poetry is arrant nonsense. The very thought that by reading other poets can make you a poet is more arrant nonsense. In the end it comes down to you either can or you can't.

Como instructor de talleres literarios, fomentar la creatividad es esencial. Me maravilla ver el talento, las diferentes visiones y la manera de como abordan un tema nuestros estudiantes.

Para el ser humano, es vital la retroalimentación en todos los sentidos. En la literatura, retroalimentar a nuestros talleristas, a los jóvenes es tarea fundamental. Alabar lo bueno, mejorar lo medio y ayudarlo en los textos más tranquilos. Así sentirá confianza en sus escritos y seguramente los va a mejorar.

Dicen que en la vida no es bueno hacer comparaciones. En los talleres literarios es bueno trabajar entre pares porque nos da variantes, nos reorienta y da nuevas pautas. Dos cabezas piensan más que una. Lo importante es que aprendes de los demás y ellos aprenden de ti. Hasta el consejo más trivial te dirige hacia un nuevo escrito. Bienvenidas las recomendaciones.

Having students read winning poetry contest poems and also enter poetry contests can inspire them to write. My poet friend who is working on home schooling project, had her student enter poetry contests and some of the won!

Siempre celebraré la poesía. Lo que es bueno para unos, no lo es para otros. La poesía siempre estará. Podrá desaparecer el mundo pero nuestros textos vivirán por siempre...

I think poetry is something like a beautiful flow of words which come spontaneously from deep inside and has the potential of touching the hearts! So, the best strategy to learn poetry would be to try to have an observant eye and an open heart. When we try to keenly observe things, people, situations we can get deeper insights of the human feelings, behaviour and aspirations. A poet needs to have a heart that can appreciate beauty and purity. A poet needs to have a heart that gets inspired and this can also inspire. A poet needs to be aware and rhus can instill awareness. A poet needs to be loving thus can show compassion. A poet needs to be daring so that he can advocate positive changes.

A celebration and sharing of poems is very important in harnessing the talent. Like all art forms, poetry writing too requires audience, and appreciation.

- la poesía es la inspiración y escritura propia de un poeta. - no es posible y tampoco existe una combinación adecuada ; la poesía es la inspiraciones y escritura de unas poetas! No tiene sentido. - existe un acuerdo que en un libro sobre la poesía; libros de poesías contenido de varios poesías de varios poetas y cada poesía escrito por la inspiración del poeta.. - una poesía hecha de varios inspiraciones de diferentes poetas y su escrito. El humano ha llegado a ser incompleto faltan 2 o más humanos juntos para es completo. Lo que estamos haciendo juntos es ajuntamos lo que queda de cada uno de conseguir un humano que es completo . Las próximas generaciones aprende del AI que se puede decir es humano completamente.

No poet is born to poet, no teacher can teach to poet. You write prose, it resonates, you write prose it doesn't. If words touch your feeling, emotion, memory or thought, it's poetry. Poetry, No rhyme nor reason why we like it ??

In my experience, writing poetry isn't something that can be taught - but by studying other poets, you can certainly be inspired. Poetry comes from your soul, and there's absolutely no "right way" or "wrong way." It's the purest form of expression, right along with songwriting. This is just my opinion of course, but I've written poetry all my life and no one ever taught me how. Just try it! If you're speaking from your heart, it's beautiful!

Poetry is creativity. And what is creativity? It's madness. Now don't get me wrong, there's a fine line in between being mad and a genius. You see, the latter seeks control. Both mad and genuis can step out of the box, the moment you step out of the box is that moment of creativity (Salaman Akhtar saab said it not me). But how far one needs to go, the knowledge of that, differentiate between a mad and a genius. Now ask yourself, are you mad? Or a genuis.

You need to read it yourself. Not forcefully though. Read the poems you love, again, and again and again, and again. You'll understand a pattern, the ifs, the whens, the whats, and whatnot. In context with shayri, Javed Akhtar Saab says, or his brother it was, Salman Akhtar ?? I am confused. Anyways I heard one of them saying. "?? ????? ??? ????, ????? ???? ???? ???"

K.I.S.S. This is hands down the best advice I have ever gotten! Keep It Simple, Sweetheart (it's originally Keep It Simple Stupid but I prefer Sweetheart) We often tend to use fancy-schmancy words and are always trying to make it rhyme but the poem just loses its essence! Instead, keep it simple. Don't fret too much over nonrhyming words or lines. Let it flow the way you want it to. It's your poem. Write it however you want.
