This book is unique. It offers readers opportunities to explore the
most common universal themes taught in secondary English Language
Arts classrooms using poetry; however, it doesn't simply suggest
poems grouped by common themes. Each poetry section presents a
poetic conversation among the poets on each of the given eight
themes. One of the poets initiates each section with an original
poem, and the next poet responds to the first, initial, poem. The
other poets join the conversation responding to the first, second,
or any of the poems previously included in this section. The poems
feature the themes of poetry, places, nature, beauty, and harmony,
love, loyalty and betrayal, home and family, loss and grief, and
dreams and hopes for the future. The three final chapters aim to
explain how to use these poems, and poetry in general, in the
classrooms and beyond its walls; to invite novice and experienced
poets to create various forms of poetry; and to share views on
poetry, its teaching, reading, and writing. The various poetry
forms are explored in this volume to create poems that help deliver
the author's message. All poems are written exclusively for a
diverse readership of the book.

Exploring Relationships and Connections to Others: Teaching
Universal Themes through Young Adult Novels offers readers
opportunities to explore the most common universal themes taught in
secondary English Language Arts classrooms using contemporary young
adult literature. Authors discuss adolescence and adolescent
readers, young adult literature and its possibilities in the
classroom, and ways to teach thematic analysis. The book provides
context, traditional approaches to teaching, and examples of
thematic explorations of each of the chosen themes. Chapters
include developed teaching instructional units to study four
universal themes: love and loss; friendship and betrayal; hate, its
destructive consequences, and healing; and dreams and hope for
tomorrow. Each instructional unit includes rationale, essential
questions and objectives, calendar plans for up to five weeks,
examples of introductory, reading and discussing, and enrichment
activities and assessments. The activities target academic skills
for ELA curricula and create safe spaces for exploring topics of
relationships and connections to others, both of which are vital to
adolescent growth and development. Each instructional chapter
suggests a wide range of additional texts and resources for theme
explorations.
