It\u2019s a life skill, not merely a \u2018school subject\u2019, and poetry is a terrific vehicle for integrating multiple curricular requirements with a spirit of fun and self-discovery as we learn to communicate.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Her methodology, which is covered in 21 practical and helpful videos created to date, offers real footholds for overcoming some of the challenges posed by Covid-19. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Learning should rightfully be a lifelong endeavour for all, and learning about poetry is an enriching experience from cradle to grave. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Parents sing nursery rhymes to their children long before they attend kindergarten, and learning can extend beyond the classroom or lecture hall, enriching our human experience right to the end of life. In the 2020 Avbob Poetry Competition, entrants ranged in age from nine to 87.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Covid-19 restrictions impact teachers from nursery to tertiary level, creating additional challenges to effective learning. The loss of learning due to the 2020 lockdowns requires unusual approaches to educational recovery. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">For some, the two-dimensional experience of digital tuition was beneficial. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Online workshops, readings, seminars and self-study programmes proved helpful. For the majority of South Africans, data costs and the unavailability of devices kept them out of the loop.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Melina grapples with an important question: \u201cWhen fundamental literacy and numeracy are at stake, how does poetry fit into an already pressured teacher\u2019s schedule? It\u2019s vital to develop communication as a core life skill. We must promote a culture of creativity and literacy in our personal lives and communities alike to be able to express ourselves and communicate our needs,\u201d she continues. \u201cPoetry matters now, and it\u2019s our job as educators to find the best ways to bring it into our classrooms. For adults who no longer study it in the formal classroom, poetry is a great addition to our daily lives. Poetry is a bridge over which we dance to access the most difficult emotions, to express the feelings and sensibilities that would otherwise remain locked away, and to achieve the thing we most want to do.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Melina cites research that shows how creative activity changes the brain, \u201cMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies show that poetry improves memory and encourages us to reflect. Poetry stirs the imagination and helps us read for meaning. It also opens channels of empathy and fellow feeling as we think about what is written between the lines or left unsaid. Like listening to music, poetry triggers an emotional response that builds emotional intelligence.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Having fun is key to Melina\u2019s teaching methodology. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">She encourages the use of games that bypass conventional logic and help one access language, learn new vocabulary, enhance meaning and set context. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Melina advocates for the \u201cbrain break\u201d \u2013 a short focus on poetry that resets the thought patterns. Following an intensive maths class, jump in with a quick limerick or haiku. Use hand signals. Examine the world from another perspective for two minutes and then return to business as usual.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\u201cPoetry is a means of accessing our inner truth in a therapeutic way. Before you start a new section of work, make an honest connection to your learners\u2019 inner world. This is a phenomenal tool for connecting to learners,\u201d Melina says. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\u201cFinding unconventional ways to integrate learning is key. Move! Dance! Ask your class to write a poem in the shape of a star or a flower, a bird or a fish. Think outside the box. Make new associations. Poetry is full of surprises. Keep it quick and light. Don\u2019t overthink it.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">In a recent workshop for educators, Melina instructed: \u201cDive into a newspaper, menu, instruction manual or handbook. Quickly find the phrases that carry weight. Then structure your lines and suddenly, you have a poem.\u201d Cradock Primary School educator, Amori Kroucamp, found these delicious words in a gardening magazine.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<div
