This new poetry collection will make reading, understanding, and engaging with poetry so much easier and exciting for my students. Poetry is a hard topic for many students, but having this wide range of poems will ensure all students can find poetry that they connect with and want to engage in. I am excited to give my students the opportunity to explore poetry from a range of authors that they may not have been able to read. This new collection will certainly ensure my students are confident in their ability to read and analyze poetry moving forward. \r\n\r\nIn my classroom reading is constantly changing and looks different day to day. Some days students have the freedom to choose what they read, and other days my students are assigned a reading that they then analyze and discuss.
