How can poetry be taught?


The way teachers teach poems or literature today is to take a poem or story, read it before the class and then try to analyze them. Teachers do it all the time and don’t understand why the students get angry. In my opinion, poetry should be taught in other ways.

Teachers teach us literature or poems to enrich our language and develop our thinking abilities, intelligence and skills to analyze the poems. The teachers don't understand that all the students want is to understand what the meaning of the poem or the story is. Poetry should be more fun and you can't always find what it means. If we analyze the poem the meaning competing with the poem itself and all we do is 
try to understand only the meaning and not the explore the poem. 

In addition, the teacher wants the students to analyze the poem the way he understands it and the students can't express themselves. If the students analyze the poems or the stories they get angry all the time and they won't concentrate in the poem only its meaning , because they will always worry what  is the meaning of the poem . In my opinion, teachers should allow students to express themselves more, and not analyze every little thing.

In conclusion, teachers analyze every little thing and they have to do it less. Also, they shouldn't deal all the time with what the meaning is and they have to allow the students to express themselves too.
