Poetry Circles--much like the more familiar Literature Circles--give students a choice about which poems they examine in greater depth while allowing the teacher to present more poems in general. After all, there are so many great poems out there, how can you pick just one?!
I Am poetry segues nicely with personal narratives, allowing students to apply the same concepts--facts or stories about myself--to a new genre: Poetry.
