Poetry Friday

Poetry Friday July 22, 2022: Poetry Printables

Poetry Friday roundup this week is at Another Year of Reading with Mary Lee Hahn
 

Poetry Printables

I attended a phenomenal poetry keynote by Janet Wong through the Poetry Foundation Teacher Institute. I’m already a big fan of Janet. My favorite poetry collection of all time is A Suitcase of Seaweed. I’ve also enjoyed learning from her through her Anthologies classes.
 
For awhile, I’ve been brainstorming ways to make my poetry a little more accessible for teachers to use in their classrooms. Janet has a GREAT poetry printables page that inspired me. 
 
Here is my poetry printables page. For now, I’m just collecting my Poetry Friday haiku here. But as I create more, I will include more printables. Feel free to pass it on to any teachers you know.

rehearse the game plan
break apart to bloom

What I’m Reading

The Hurting Kind
by Ada Limón
 
I’m reading Ada Limón’s latest book. It’s the first collection of hers that I’m reading. If you haven’t read the announcement about her being the new Poet Laureate, here is the Library of Congress article.
