Theory “In the K-1 classroom, children convey their meaning more easily though drawing than through print. Drawing, therefore, can provide a supportive scaffolding for the writing. Because more information is embedded in the pictures than in the print, drawing provides a horizon and leads the child deeper into the writing. In a sense the goal in the primary classroom is to have writing catch up with their drawing.” -Lucy Calkins

Theory from Calkins’ “Art of Teaching Writing” Poetry is also a powerful genre because its condensed nature. Because poems can be very short, every child in every classroom can be a poet. The genre is accessible even to five year old writers who labor over the mechanics of putting pen to paper. Poetry offers a powerful forum for teaching young writers to make reading-writing connections. When students read Judy Blume novels, it’s not easy for them to match their writing to their reading, but when they read an Eloise Greenfield poem, reading-writing connections feel far more possible.

More Theory by Calkins Poetry is powerful because of the ways it can enrich people’s lived lives. Poems can be read aloud at Thanksgiving dinner or at a baby’s baptism. Poems can be put onto greeting cards or framed and given as gifts. Poems can also be woven into the life of a classroom community- posted next to the aquarium, chanted as a ritualized opening to every day’s math class, hung on the classroom door as a motto for the community.

“Of course, it is true for the writer as for the jeweler and the sculptor that the magic is never in the material alone, but in the artist’s ability to re- imagine it.” -L. Calkins
