Portals Into Poetry: Using Generative Writing Groups to Facilitate Student Engagement With Word Art

Linda Young

The Poetry Generating Loop is a new kind of generative writing circle that offers concrete, creative ways to get students involved in and excited about poetry. By writing poems in groups, students are able to learn poetic terms and experiment with techniques through their writing—a process that can shed new light on the world of poetry.
