Media Monday - Poetry Archive

Poetryarchive.org provides audio files of thousands of poems for children. It is well organized and easy to browse or search.

A lesson on poetry can begin with children reading the poems on paper and discussing the poem as a class. Student can then listen to the poem and discuss how their understanding of the poem may have changed. Students can support their thoughts with evidence such as tone and speed.
