My Topic: Teaching Poetry in Kindergarten

My Thesis: Though some feel that poetry is too advanced for young readers, in reality, kindergarteners can benefit a great deal by being introduced to it.

Side A (my viewpoint): Kindergarteners are fully capable of understanding poetry.

Side B (the opposite viewpoint): However, some believe that poetry is too advanced for such a young age group.

Possible Solutions: Research various types of poetry and find poetry that is age-level appropriate. Provide a list of specific poems and books that could be used in kindergarten. Include proof (how students have responded in actual classrooms).

My Conclusion: Here is how I will restate my thesis so it is not worded exactly the same way as in my intro. (Rewrite here.) I will reemphasize important essay points, such as: ______.

References: Here are a few of the sources I will use. (List below in alphabetical order.)
