In an effort to make the #ILAchat series align better with ILA's understanding of professional learning, the ILA team started gathering resources lists to share at the end of each chat, either a citation list of our quotes (it's always good to cite your references!) or a bibliography of research and further reading on the topic.

For the #ILAchat about poetry, rap, and hip-hop, which will start at 8:00 p.m. ET on April 11 (which is tonight at the time of this writing), our guests provided me with so many poetry resources that it isn't feasible to share them all during the chat. Instead, I decided to put all the resources in this round-up post.
