The Academy of American Poets hopes to give teachers in all content areas multiple opportunities to integrate poetry into their instruction with Teach This Poem, a new, free weekly email that features a poem along with instructional resources and ideas for activities related to the selection. The new initiative, which begins September 2, expands on the Academy’s existing Poem-a-Day, an online syndicated series featuring previously unpublished poems, which has been running since 2006.
The Comics Connector, an online resource from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF), connects teachers and librarians with comics professionals who are able to visit them in classrooms throughout the United States. CBLDF’s tools and resources include discussion guides, case studies, and an online column titled “Using Graphic Novels in Education.”
