I agree with you when you said that, with this lesson, we can imagine how to teach poetry. I think that we have to improve the way to teach this topic, because the way we learnt it in our school period was so basic and unpleasant, only with memorizing.
Like you I never thought that poetry can be used in class as a tool to encourage the students to learn more about the benefits of the poetry for the learning process.
Not only poetry in Spanish, but also in English could be beneficial for ouw future students, because the poetry makes you think in a totally different way than you are used to. And also the skills that you are going to achieve are different with learning poetry and do not learn it.
Obviously the activities are so funny but if I have to choose my favorite I would select the poetry in storytelling way, where we have to teach a poem with gestures and movements. It was very funny also the making off and the moment that we have to record it. With the recording of this activity we can also have a view of us nowadays and compare it with the first videos where we had to appear making this kind of things.

I’m glad to see that someone talks about this funny lesson. For me was a lesson very useful to open my mind in the sense that I never thought before about poetry like something important in the classroom. It was something that you hear but you don’t care about that. In my opinion the poetry develop too many skills; Poetry should be one of the educational resources for excellence with children, which encourage many values necessary for a correct and comprehensive development of children. While they are growing we should to use poetry as well, because we must also promote auditory memory, visual, rhythmic.
Also I have to say you thank a lot to give us that wonderful link where we can see our amazing work with the poetry; I think that I have lost all the shame I had when I started the uni. And now, I know I’m going to try to include poetry in my future class, we don’t have to be scared about try this kind of things, sometimes It will be great and sometimes it will be a disaster, but we are new in this world and the most important thing is to be courageous in this adventure.
