Podcasting Subscription
I have subscribed to a Cup of Poetry podcast. This Penguin Books supported podcast often features a poet who reads and discusses his or her own poem once a week. As a language arts instructor, I place high value on children's exposure to poetry. As part of our classroom ritual, I present a new poem each day. Usually, I read the poem and then facilitate classroom discussion. I use open-ended questions that rank high in Bloom's Taxonomy in order to encourage deep, critical thinking. It would be great to add a little variety to the routine. Once a week, students could hear poetry read by someone other than me and gain a little background knowledge in the process. Due to the fact the many of my inner city students do not have access to technology at home, I see this as a classroom activity rather than an assignment. However, for those that have computers with Internet service, I would show them how to subscribe on their own. Below is an RSS feed for the podcast.
