Internet Diary Entry 9

This website is devoted to poetry which is necessary in any reading/language arts classroom. This website deals mainly with funny poems which could be a good method for introducing students to poetry so that they are having fun with it. The website provides poems, games, contests, a rhyming dictionary, and even poetry podcasts.
The main purpose of this website is to introduce young children to poetry. It also provides a way for students to submit their poetry and also keep a portfolio of their written poems. Students grades 1-12 can even enter their poems in monthly contests.
Teachers can find helpful methods of teaching poetry on this website. The website has lesson plans on writing poems, choosing a topic, how to rhyme, and how to make poems funny. In addition to learning how to teach poetry, teachers can also send their students to this website to read examples of funny poetry before they write their own.
