Abstract
Teacher Honor Moorman explains an extended poetry lesson that connects art and poetry. Students perform published poems written in response or reaction to paintings as preparation for their visit to an art museum, where they emulate the professional poets in writing original poems about art. Sample poems show the effectiveness of this idea.
