Need help finding the perfect poem for a holiday celebration or a
science unit? A funny riddle poem or a bilingual poetry book? Here
is a comprehensive resource for teachers, librarians, and parents
packed with poetry bibliographies and research-based strategies for
selecting and sharing poetry with young people (ages 0-18). The
Poetry Teacher's Book of Lists contains 155 different lists
featuring 1500 poetry books for children and teens-in a variety of
categories including poetry awards, seasonal poetry, poetry across
the curriculum, multicultural poetry, the poetry-friendly
environment, poetry performance, guiding discussion, and teaching
poetry writing. You'll find recommended lists of poetry books tied
to calendar events throughout the year, poetry that targets the
needs of students acquiring English as a new language, poetry to
help children through worries, adjustments or difficult times, 20
lists of poetry to support the study of science, social studies,
and language arts, lists organized by different poetic forms,
question prompts to guide meaningful discussions, preparation and
presentation pointers, display ideas, poetry quotes, lesson plan
tips, poet birthdays, and a poetry scavenger hunt and treasure hunt
for kids-all tools to help jumpstart a poetry program and keep it
energized and fresh all year long. Poet Helen Frost says, "The
Poetry Teacher's Book of Lists offers a mountaintop view of poetry
for children and teens. Sylvia Vardell has been paying close
attention to poetry for a long time, and here she compiles her vast
knowledge and offers it in such a way that we can see how much is
out there without feeling overwhelmed. The classics are here, along
with the contemporary; beautiful language, careful craft, poignant,
humorous, informative--whatever you are looking for, in your
teaching or other explorations, this book will help you find it."
Master poet and anthologist Lee Bennett Hopkins says, "The Poetry
Teacher's Book of Lists is an incredible journey through the past,
present, and future of poetry... this book is a treasure... one to
refer to over and over... for years to come." From Children's Poet
Laureate J. Patrick Lewis, "The Poetry Teacher's Book of Lists is
sumptuous and exhaustive... a brilliant concept." Teacher Paul
Hankins says, "The Poetry Teacher's Book of Lists is so
comprehensive in its offerings that it includes a new book I just
finished last week within its listings." Poet Pat Mora says,
"Author, poetry lover, and list-maker, Dr. Sylvia Vardell has given
us yet another fine resource for weaving poetry through the
curriculum. Poetry needs champions, and Vardell is a steady and
creative one."
