Rating:  - Poetry Basics
I was disappionted with this book, maybe because I was expecting more of a how-to teach poetry and the author focuses on getting kids writing. I think I can use some of the ideas with my middle school students, but I would say this guide is best for younger kids. Also, the book is set up so the example poems are meant to be read to students, not to be reproduced. I'd like my students to see and read the poems for themselves.
Rating:  - Indispensible resource
Jacqueline Sweeney is awesome --ANY of her books are well worth purchasing, especially this one. I have used this in grades 1 through 6 and always get great results.
Rating: - A wonderful, easy to implement resource of poetry ideas.
This book is one of my favorites. I use it throughout the year. My students love the activities and other teachers have asked how my students write such marvelous poetry! Each activity is well organized and easy to teach. There are examples of each exercise to share with the students. I highly recommend it.
