							| Teaching Poetry 
 |  
							| Hi there,   Classes are starting in March here and I am just realizing that my first unit will include poetry for secondary students.  I know very  little about poetry so this won �t be easy for me.  I have been googling but everything I find seems to presume that the reader already knows things like alliteration, hyperbole, etc. which I really don �t.   Any suggestions for how to get started for a teacher with very little know about poetry?   Thanks so much!   Esther  |  13 Feb 2017

							| Hi Esther   In terms of  alliteration etc, perhaps google those so that you can learn them first.   Here are some more great links for you to explore:           Cheers   Jayho  |  13 Feb 2017
