Last year I shared Mr. A's poetry study as we went along in a series I called Poetry for High Schoolers, sharing every six weeks how we had enjoyed each poet and then outlining our simple poetry analysis for each one. I was busy organizing this study again for Mr. B and decided that a new Squidoo page was in order to make my life easier. It really made sense for me to put the lesson ideas, videos, and other links into one spot for Mr. B to pull up each week and use on his own. (These are the same plans just all pulled into one spot.)
Along the way, I decided to make a fresh set of notebooking pages for him to use with the lesson ideas. Nothing fancy or complicated (remember this series was Poetry for High School Boys) but still nice enough to merit being called "poetry notebooking pages".
I share those pages with you now.
Simple ideas for studying six different poets (including YouTube videos for each)
Includes 6 notebook pages and one additional page explaining how to get started with poetry analysis and a list of question. I probably will make a few more pages and add them to this page before our year is over so make sure to bookmark and save this page for future reference.You can see images of each page over on Squidoo as well.

YOU are so very generous. And, have I mentioned, encouraging?
Fabulous. I found a great curriculum called "The Art of Poetry" from Classical Academic Press, that we are using this year. Your pages will likely coordinate with it somehow!!
Thank you so very much Barb. Our 12 yo told us that she wants to study poetry this month (we do a monthly mentoring/planning time with each child) and I am going to print some of these pages to see if she would like to follow your plan. thank you for sharing!
Barb, I am sitting here wondering how many jewels will be in your crown in Paradise. As far as I'm concerned, you can have mine, too (assuming I'll have any!). Thank you, thank you, for all you do. I'm filing away so many of your nuggets of wisdom for our high school years!
Fantastic resource! Thanks so much!
You are all very welcome. I am so glad that I have some time right now to share all the things we are doing that may help other homeschooling moms. I know from experience that poetry can be daunting and I have tried to make it as simple as possible keeping in mind my Charlotte Mason leanings...I still want the boys to do a little deeper look at poetry as they go through high school. Taste and see that it is good!
