- National Poetry Month: Useful Resources for Teachers and Students – from Edutopia
- It’s World Poetry Day! Here are 12 poems every human should know by heart – from Hello Giggles

I loved seeing the choices made for the 12 poems. I used to do my own version for my tenth graders. First day of school I would have the poems tacked up all over the classroom but wouldn’t mention them for a couple of weeks, when we started the poetry unit. I loved watching as they were pulled by curiosity, or a classmate, to read one, then two, then…
I’m going to have to try that – with poems for fifth-graders, of course.
