Surprised into Knowing: Twelfth Graders Reading Marge Piercy (Modern Poetry in the Classroom).

Rhoades, Georgia

English Journal, v82 n7 p87-89 Nov 1993

Provides an account of how one teacher taught poetry by first focusing on what students knew about a poem and then moving to what they were surprised by and, thus, to what they did not know. Outlines how such a method was carried out in the classroom with Marge Piercy's poem, "Councils." (HB)
