Let's explain the points raised in the previous post.

1. The Selection of Poems:
   The success of any poetry lesson depends to a large extent on the poem chosen for study. For this reason, teachers must choose their poems with care. The following are important considerations;

• the subject matter has to be fascinating or appealing to the pupil so they can show gr at interest in the lesson.
• the situation(s) which atise should be within the pupils experience to garner their interest.
• language may be a difficulty even when the subject matter and situation(s) are within the pupils scopes, if the language is beyond their scope.
• style of writing, the language refers to the words or phrases used, style is the manner in which the words are used. A clumsy approach or an obscure style creates difficulty and should be avoided.
  Therefore, poem to be read in class should have an attractive subject matter, describe range within the pupils scopes, be written in simple language and adopt an easy to understand approach to the subject matter.

1. The Aim of Teaching Poetry
   The aim simply put, should be to open up a whole new world of experience for the child by communicating experience of the poet's and inviting the kids to share the experience.

2. Possible Activities in a Poetry Lesson
   Poetry lessons have not been popular with kids because they have often been dull and uninteresting. This dullness has been directly linked to lack of activities during the lesson.
   Here are a list of possible activities in no particular order.
   Reading (choral) - where the class repeats after the teacher.
   Dramatizing content of the poem.
   Drawing sketches to depict characters, actions and situations from the poem.
   Interpreting verbally the sketches made by other pupils.
   Arranging sketches in correct order, etc.

I believe these tips have been helpful and you can now make poetry classes interesting for pupils.
