96: Five Ways to Introduce Poetry into the Outdoor Classroom

Nature is a great resource for inspiration, especially when getting children to write. Inspired by Episode #95, today’s mini-episode digs deeper into simple ways to introduce poetry to children in your outdoor classroom.

They include:

1.    Share and discuss poetry

2.    Recite and act out poems outdoors

3.    Write poems in a sit spot outdoors

4.    Integrate poetry and photography into your nature-based lesson plans

5.    Choose a tree in your outdoor classroom and make a poetry tree.

Take a listen and learn how I unpack each of these 5 seeds of inspiration.
