Pedagogy Forum, Week 7

Considering what Zac wrote in his pedagogy forum, I also began to think of how a creative writing class may be taught and what texts to use in such a class. The anthology does have its benefits as far as providing a variety of poems and poets a student can study, yet I also find it beneficial to provide small collections of several poets so that a student may study poems as part of a collective whole. So, I would perhaps consider using an anthology for, perhaps, a less experienced introductory class while in an advanced class, I would introduce a set of poetry collections to create a more focused outlook on a few particular poets so that students can get at least some sense of each poet’s style and context of writing.
