{"product_id":"9781877673283","title":"Beyond Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue","description":"For many teachers, poetry can be a difficult subject to teach. Poet Benjamin Green makes it easy with this practical and insightful book. His step-by-step process combines formulaic fill-in-the-blank exercises and open-ended (\"Write a poem about peace\") assignments. With clear examples, Green talks students through each of 25 exercises, helping them create high-quality, thoughtful poems. The process begins with \"word gathering,\" a series of prompts designed to generate words, phrases, information, ideas, and images. Students then \"extract\" a poem from this material, choosing the most interesting and descriptive words. Finally, Green guides them through the revision process, using a series of questions to help them refine and polish their work. The book also includes suggested readings and samples of poems created by real students.","brand":"Prufrock Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836932759792,"sku":"9781877673283","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781877673283","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
