¥ Verse

#¥PoetryMonth kicked off on April 1, and ¥ celebrated! Whether you teach poetry as a unit or interweave it into your lessons throughout the year, we know that poetry is powerful and speaks to both students and educators alike. ¥ members from across the country joined in ¥ Verse, a member-exclusive FREE professional learning opportunity aimed at providing ideas and inspiration around poets and poetry!

We know that our members are teaching with poems from many incredible authors that ¥ has yet to write about. So this year we featured the poets our members are teaching right now and our members are the ones who have curated the resources!

Each weekday beginning Friday, April 1, members who signed up for ¥ Verse received a daily email that:

  • Focused on a different poet each day as identified by ¥ members
  • Provided resources related to that poet
  • Responded to the prompt, “This poet belongs in our classrooms because…”
