Making 'Metaphor Poems' by Simile & Rhyme
ARE YOU A HOMESCHOOLING PARENT?
Always on the lookout for useful resources to give your son or daughter understanding of subject matter that lights up his or her eyes?
Help your child enjoy the benefits of self-expression only poetry can give! Help each of your children reach into that level of consciousness that makes each one uniquely who he or she is!
How? Use MAKING ‘METAPHOR POEMS’ BY SIMILE & RHYME: A GUIDE FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS as a coaching handbook. (As a homeschooling parent, you are the teacher, and as your child is probably brighter than the average, he or she and you need not be at the high school level to benefit from this approach.)
From the back cover:
Leland Jamieson is a poet and author of two collections of poetry, 21ST CENTURY BREAD: Short Rhyming Poems Post-9/11 (2007) and IN VITRO: New Short Rhyming Poems Post-9/11 (2009). He lives and writes in East Hampton, Connecticut.
Realizing school budgets for the arts are always tight, and that many schools lack a Poet in the Schools Program, Jamieson has written an affordable 42-page guide for teachers that addresses this problem in a novel and creative, highly participatory manner.
Moreover, it carries poetry-making to a new level through its teacher-directed, student-generated use of simile and metaphor created by "Reverse Rhyming." Out of this students evolve metaphors they own in poems they craft with natural, unforced rhyme.
The guide reprints, from the author's first book, 16 poems with broad appeal to teens. It identifies similes and metaphors in each. Plus, it models for the teacher how, when encountered, to win over students initially resistant to poetry, using a process that helps them become active contributors.
