Question:
Cite some reason why should a teacher use poetry in the language classroom.
As a future teacher, give some ways on how will you teach poetry in students.
Answer:
There are so many books and literature that can enhance our knowledge and practical thinking
however our daily life contains things and message that is differ from its literal meaning. As a future
educator, we are responsible in molding young minds but also we can help them to let out what are
their thoughts and emotions they don’t want sometimes to express and in what field they are belong.
But how can we help the students? What are the strategies that should be use?
As a future educator, I should find ways wherein the students can possibly think deeper more
than literal meaning and can understand the author feelings and emotions. Poetry is the literature to
pick out. Poetry will help the students to think broad and their reading comprehension will be greater.
Poetry always containing meaning that is hidden from every stanza. It always have meaning that should
the reader understand. Language that use is so indirect from its literal meaning. In general, there are
three types of poetry which are lyric, narrative and dramatic. Each of it has its own definition which able
to understand the contain of poetry. Poetry usually using imagery and symbol so it will help also to
distinguish what is written or what the poetry wants to say to us.
I want my future students to teach is be sensitive not just in reading books and other literature
but also to their environment. We are encountering people that will show us how beautiful the world is
but deep inside they have venom in their hearts. It’s not about “what you see is what you get” but it’s
how they dealt with us and interact. Who can say if the students will be a writer after hearing such
poetry that touches their heart? As a future educator, I will not into just teaching but also helping them
to grow and be wise while living.
