This teaching tool focuses on teaching poetry in less than 10 minutes per day. Turn your students into poetry pros with a quick structured poetry analysis. Focus Poetry is a technique of shared reading that provides multiple opportunities to teach a wide variety of skills in a small amount of time each day. When elementary educator Julie Ballew incorporated poetry lessons into her daily schedule, her students gained a deeper understanding of how to read and write poetry.
