The research says...
When students are given a real-world and specific purpose for poetry performance they "develop a deeper sense of the rhetorical nature of language and learn to use written language effectively" (Wyngaard and Gehrke 1996). Cohen and Riel (1989) assert that "the development of functional writing environments to contextualize students' work can lead to improvements in the quality of students' classroom writing".
