Many classes spent a class recently using poetry to work on reading with expression. We talked about how readers use clues from the author - including punctuation, capital letters, line breaks, and spaces - as well as our own knowledge of the topic to decide how to convey meaning with one's voice. We analyzed and read one poem together, then students did the same work independently or in pairs before reading with good expression to the class.
