Podcasts for Poetry


I have found a podcast that I could use with my poetry unit.  The podcasts offer explanations about poetry then a poem is read so you can hear the elements that were just explained.  It gives great information about poems and allows me to pick and choose what I want my students to focus on. I like that it is only a recording and doesn’t have pictures. I want students to create their own images as they listen to the pieces. 
 Using a podcast in my poetry unit allows students to:
  •  Listen as many times as they like
  •  Ensures that students hear the correct pronunciations 
  • Teaches them how to read poetry(especially if a printout of the poem is provided to the student.)
Check it out!
