Poetry 180 represents diversity and it is designed to grab readers with a selection of poems that a reader will love. Collins' goal for using Poetry 180 and 180 More is to have one poem read aloud each day by a different member of the school community.

Teacher will appreciate this resource because a lot of the excited, interesting and common poems are all in one place. Students are able to hear several of these poems and become comfortable with poetry. The diversity of Poetry 180 offers something of interest of every student. I will definitely be sharing this resource, it is so important to expose and read poetry to students especially younger students so they can build that love and appreciation of poetry. This is an easy resource because it has enough poems that you can just use this book throughout the whole school …show more content…
Among the projects he set forth in the this edition, Haas wanted to show through contrast, how each master's personality and style comes through their work however restricted the form. Teachers can use this resource to educate their students on not only haiku poetry, but compare the differences of the authors. Students will gain an understanding and appreciation for each author and soon will be able to distinguish who wrote which poems. Students also understand how, even though a haiku poem does not have many words, it still can convey a deep meaning. I probably wouldn’t ever use this resource but for older students it would be a great way to expose them to this type of poetry and how different peoples voice come across differently in each poem and work on their own
