Poetry By Heart

Poetry By Heart | Curriculum Resources | Scoop.it
Sharla Shults's curator insight, May 4, 1:54 PM

"Poetry By Heart is designed to put the emphasis on learning by heart, not on learning by rote.  It is about understanding and remembering the deep recurring truths about our experience as humans, in terms that are especially beautiful and resonant.  It is about doing this in a pleasure-filled way.  And it is part of the same benevolent revolution in poetry-proving and poetry-teaching that formed a part of the original intention in founding the Poetry Archive  during my ten years as Poet Laureate." ~Andrew Motion

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 4, 2:51 PM

Poetry evokes both the creative and the radical. We can express what we feel in a deep and meaningful manner.

Have Your Teachers Banned Wikipedia? They Must Not Know About This. | Curriculum Resources | Scoop.it
Wikipedia's most common sources of information are news outlets, books, and academic archives. So if your teacher has banned Wikipedia, just follow Wikipedia's trail of sources to get to the good stuff. Oh, and don't tell them we sent you.

Hmmm... Worth knowing about. Still can't cite it, but a good place to start for background info.

Sarah Rach-Sovich's curator insight, May 7, 9:06 AM

A great starting point - track it back to see where it might have come from.

Lorena Swetnam's curator insight, May 7, 9:43 AM

Teach students and teachers how Wikipedia can be a starting point in the research process, not the final destination.
