There is a need to promote literature, especially poetry, among school children.
However, the literature can be too 'literary' for the children. They need to read a variety of genres and try to make it interesting enough to be read by a general audience. Luckily, there are some excellent resources that can help them. Here are a few. They will inspire you to get creative with your own writing! The possibilities are endless! Yeats's poem
Yeats's poem "Among School Children" is widely regarded as a classic example of ellipticism.
The meter is iambic pentameter with five feet per line, but the speaker often veers away from the traditional pattern. The first line is irregular and follows a pattern of pyrrhic and spondee feet. These two feet form a similar rhythm and are often used to create a smooth texture in the poem. Maud Gonne
In "Maured Gonne among School Children," the poet compares a young woman's life to that of a Greek myth: Leda.
In the myth, Leda was a beautiful princess from Aetolian, the first love of Zeus, who visited her in the form of a swan. Zeus and Leda had two children: Polydeuces, a hero, and Helen, a beautiful woman who helped break the city of Troy. Yeats compares the young girl to Helen and Leda. The Ledaean body
The poem "Among School Children" by W.B. Yeats was inspired by the myth of Leda and the Swan
about a mortal woman raped by Zeus in the form of a swan and who gives birth to Helen of Troy and Castor and Pollux. Yeats' first love was Maud Gonne, who turned him down when he proposed marriage to her. Yeats wrote "Among School Children" after reading the myth and later became a senator of the Irish Free State. The illusions of the parents
Studies show that parents have an illusion of control over their kids.
For example, a parent might think he has more control over his child's intellectual development if the child doesn't ask questions about the material. But that illusion isn't based on truth. Parents' perceptions about their children's competence are often distorted by their own feelings and expectations. According to Phillips (1987), parents of low-competence Grade 3 students were less likely to give their children positive judgments. Fathers were less likely to praise their children's performances. The subject matter taught in school
The ultimate ends of education are to promote the development of the whole person as an active and well-integrated citizen.
Although these objectives have been described in many different ways, a general psychological analysis of educational objectives provides a more complete picture. Among the objectives are the development of cognitive abilities, the acquisition of practical skills, and the development of affective skills. This article explores these goals and outlines some of the methods that are employed to reach them. Alliteration
Children can learn about alliteration in a variety of ways.
Alliteration in words helps young readers think about the words in a new way. They learn how to listen to sounds, so they can sound out difficult words. This can also help them become faster readers. Children will also be able to read longer and more complex sentences without the distraction of an enunciator. Alliteration is a great way to get a child's attention and to improve their reading skills.
