Join us as Andrew and Julie discuss one of their favorite subjects: poetry. Many teachers and even students wonder at the purpose of incorporating poetry in their language arts curriculum. In this episode Andrew and Julie explore the powerful benefits to students that come from learning poetry, including increased student vocabulary. Learn how better vocabulary helps students engage in more complex thinking, which in turn benefits their writing.
