Back-Pocket Poetry

What follows is the beginning of a wonderful poetry lesson by a talented inner city teacher, Matt Amaral; it's his lesson, experience, and introductory paragraph. The connection for the whole article is below the next paragraph.

"Looking back on the year so far, I’ve decided to write about some of the best lessons I’ve done in the hopes it will give you ideas you can use in your own classrooms. I’ve made a category for it called “Lesson Plans.” My plan is to fill it with lessons that went well in my English classroom where the students were completely engaged, and the end product was something we could all be proud of."
