| Summary: | There are various ways in which readers respond to literature. This article discusses how
readers (students in particular) can express their ideas and thoughts about the literary texts
they have read through poetry writing. It begins with an overview of reader response theory
and the field of literary response research, followed by a discussion of oral and written
forms of readers’ responses to literature and a classroom activity that requires students to
express their thoughts about literary characters in poetic forms. The article also highlights
students’ proficiency, and literacy and literary skills as some of the factors that need to be
considered when using poetry writing as a way of responding to literature. |
