Are you stumped about how to bring poetry to life in your classroom? Here is an exciting way to make poetry dynamic while also introducing students to drama in a non-threatening context. This unique book, requiring no previous drama experience, is an ideal way to involve students in classic literature and to integrate dramatization with the study of poems as literature. Containing more than 50 classic poems scripted to dramatize in the classroom or onstage, each poem includes explanations of poetic devices as well as topics for critical thinking, writing and art. This how-to guide provides multiple examples of ways to dramatize poetry in the classroom or onstage, whether you want to involve the whole class (up to 35 students!), pairs, small groups, a traveling troupe or even students just learning English. Poets include Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Lewis Carroll, Carl Sandburg and many more!
