The poem “To a Daughter Leaving Home” is my favorite. At the same time, I want to teach this poem for my students. Not only because it’s my favorite, but also it has couple of reasons. This poem is appropriate for let high school students having a chance to understand their parents.
The first reason that I can say this poem will be suitable to teach to high school students is because of its giving message and its expectation effectiveness. Nowadays relationship between family members are poor. This might be causing because of the lack of understanding each other. Therefore, by this poem students will have a chance to indirect experience how their parents had gone through for them, and this will end up helping students to understand their parents love. Second, this poem will strengthen the education that builds students’ character. Since its’ genre is literature, students will be exposed to poetic expression instead of academic expression. I believe these poetic expression are necessary for growing up students to develop upright character.
In short, as a teacher to teach my student, I want to introduce poem “To a Daughter Leaving Home”. The main two reasons are because of its giving message, which helps students to understand their parents, and its poetic expression, which may help developing student’s character. I’m looking forward to see my student’s positive outcomes by this poem just as what I have expected.
It's interesting that you say that reading poetry (not academic writing) will build character. What positive character traits does reading poetry build?
