A1 They also read Marilyn Nelson's amazing A Wreath for Emmett Till. Really opens their eyes to the pervasiveness of racism. #WonderChat

Q2. Has anybody used Wonderopolis to generate or research new poems? #WonderChat #NationalPoetryMonth

Frank X Walker Catherine Flynn Simply love the work that Nelson has shared with us. HOW I DISCOVERED POETRY is a nice memoir. #WonderChat

Q3. I meet a lot of adults who are afraid of #poetry. At what age do our students begin to fall out of love with poems? #WonderChat

We fall out of love with poetry the day we stop reading it; must continue to expose Ss to all genres #WonderChat x.com/AffrilachiaX/s…

A3 #WonderChat when we quit reading as read aloud and showing love for poetic language. This chat has renewed my love for teaching poetry.

A3 help spread the love of poetry (rdg,wtg) by widening the circle of choices. Find poetry (etc) that speaks to one's passions. #Wonderchat

A3: We focus on the poetry types and features; not the pure poetry; they don’t always develop the love. #WonderChat

Q4. Have you brought a teaching poet into your classroom? If so, how did the students respond? #WonderChat #NationalPoetryMonth

A4: Frank X Walker I've entertained the notion of taking Kentucky poet, Ron Whitehead, up on his offer to come into #Room407. #WonderChat

Q5: What are your thoughts on recitation & its absence in the classroom? Did it cut a leg off the poetry table? #WonderChat #poetry
