Instructional Note: Anthologizing Transformation: Breaking Down Students’ "Private Theories" about Poetry

Nancy L. Chick

Abstract

Presents an assignment in which students look through a handful of poetry collections or anthologies, seeking 20 poems they like and thus understand or want to understand to some extent. Describes the benefits of this assignment, including honing students’ interpretive skills, dispelling their misconceptions about the genre, and continuing their "initiation into art."
