RECOMMENDED FOR:
This course is recommended for all experienced Diploma Programme (DP) Language A: Literature and Language A: Language and literature teachers and those who have recently completed a Category 1 or 2 workshop. This course is designed to welcome lovers of poetry and teaching poetry, as well as teachers who are more reticent in teaching, analyzing, and/or having their students write poetry.
Poetry, as a genre, is available for study in several units in the language A: Literature course (also the Language A: Language and literature course), as well as in several assessments in this course. Poetry provides great opportunities for student writing and the kind of close-reading analysis necessary for work in DP literature. This workshop will investigate several aspects of selecting and teaching poetry to stimulate student interest and prepare students for IB assessments. It is available in English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean.
