POETRY

 ** MAKING A MULTI MODAL POETRY PRESENTATION **  READING, APPRECIATING, UNDERSTANDING, PRESENTING AND TEACHING POETRY…AND MAYBE LOVING IT, TOO?   media type="youtube" key="81yC1717_d0" height="344" width="425" I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide  or press an ear against its hive.  I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out,  or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore.  But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. <span style="display: block; text-align: center; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"> <span style="text-align: left; display: block; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">They begin beating it with a hose <span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: left; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">to find out what it really means.
