Strategies for Engaging Students with Poetry Through Print and Non-Print Media

Abstract

This paper explores effective strategies for engaging students with poetry through print and non-print media. Recognising the educational value of poetry in fostering language development, cultural awareness, and emotional expression, the study outlines a dual approach that incorporates traditional textual resources, such as anthologies and poetry collections, alongside innovative digital formats like podcasts, videos, and social media. By examining the benefits and challenges of each medium, the paper highlights the potential for a blended learning environment that accommodates diverse learning styles and preferences. Practical applications and case studies demonstrate how educators can create dynamic and inclusive poetry experiences, ultimately aiming to enhance student engagement and understanding. The findings underscore the importance of integrating various media to foster a deeper appreciation for poetry in contemporary educational contexts
