Introduction

Figurative language? Literary devices? A sonnet? You want me to learn about what? Why? Why should I learn about these things and what will they ever do for me? As teachers, we are approached with these types of questions from our students every day. When students are learning about math, I am sure they will question their teacher in the same manner; however, deep within themselves they know why they need to learn about math. When they question their Language Arts teacher, I believe they are sincerely perplexed by poetry, because, after all, when do you use it in everyday life?
