Answer to Question 1

Prereading - activate background knowledge, set purposes, preview book. Reading - independent, shared, guided, buddy, read aloud. Responding - reading logs, grand conversations; personal responses. Exploring - teaching points (skills, phonics, vocabulary, text structures). Applying - create projects; share. Practical use will vary by student, text.

Answer to Question 2

Children vary in poetry preferences; forced memorization may decrease interest in poetry. Alternatives: participate in spontaneous responses; draw and write about poems; sequence lines of poem; sing poems; make class collaboration book of the poem; write new poems using the same format as the original poem.
