Chapter 6-8

I found interesting in chapter 8 how it describes the fragileness of teaching poetry. Poetry is not an easy form of literature to understand and if you rush kids into it, it may have negative effects on the kids. I also like that the text points out that children have a natural affinity for poetry because of nursery rhyme books. Another topic the books speaks about is haiku. Honestly I don't even remember writing haiku myself. If you asked me about that today, I couldn't even tell you how to write haiku.
