How to Think by Furnishing the Mind


Apr 02, 2025

How does furnishing the mind by reading and appreciating poetry help students learn to think? Join Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker as they discuss the importance of poetry in providing vocabulary, linguistic patterns, and distillation of thoughts. Poetry lends itself to the contemplation of imagination and the beauty of the words. Students learn to think more deeply as they read, enjoy, and think about the words, ideas, and images in poems.
