Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's First Book of Poetry The teacher can help, of course. Sometimes, not al ways, she can make comments that lend light and feeling. Often, but not always, she can help by reading aloud. Sometimes, where necessary, she can ask questions to provoke thought and bring out the meaning. Some times she should simply tell the meaning. Always her function is to stimulate, suggest, guide, but not to obstruct the sunlight of the poet's genius; There should be much reading aloud by the pupils. Remembering that, being poetry, it is rhythmic utter-i ance, they should read it so; not singsong fashion, nor yet in the bald and unrhythmic fashion of prose.

Download or read book First Poems Classic Reprint written by Wildie Thayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Poems The child should be allowed to recite the simple lesson he has learned, and should not be harshly criticized or silenced by his elders, and if he studies lovingly and faithfully we may expect better things of him in the future. Bear this in mind, critic, and remember that the' writer of these poems is only a child of Nature who realizes the immaturity of these her first poems. It is only after much hesitation that this little book is given to the public, for many of the poems in it were written in early childhood. Critics will no doubt discover abundance of mistakes, but is it too much to ask that these may be kindly overlooked, and that the readers will instead accept the lessons which the writer has tried to recite, and forgive the blundering way in which they are expressed? If the fragrance of a genuine love of Nature inspires those who' read these first poems to love Nature more, to watch more closely her various moods, and to find hidden beauty in everything, they have accomplished their mission.

Download or read book A Study of the Children s Poet Classic Reprint written by Lillie Faris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Children's Poet To make a success of the study of Longfellow a teacher can not be too familiar with his poems. She must read and re read the simpler poems, make them so thoroughly a part of herself, that she will be a living inspiration to her pupils. If we compel pupils to learn certain facts about an author, it will not have the desired effect. We must teach them to love those of whom they are studying and it certainly is an easy matter to make them love such a character as our Longfellow. The very fact of his having loved the children so dearly, and written so extensively about them insures their interest. Let us first take them on a little imaginary trip to the city of Portland, Maine. Tell something of the city of Portland, near the sea. Do the children know what the sea is? If not, tell them. Show them the picture of Longfellow's home at Portland. Tell them of a dear, little, blue-eyed, auburn haired baby that once came to live in that home; how he grew and grew, just as babies always do; how he listened to the songs of the birds and the song of the sea, and the beautiful thoughts they whispered to him. Tell of his surroundings; the old Deering woods through which he used to wander; the old fort on the hill near his borne, from which a gun was fired every morning at sunrise. Tell of his school life; his later college life, especially emphasizing his boyish experiences and games. Teach the children to love him as a child, and later as a man and poet.
