Poetry may be used effectively with other methods of teaching sociology. Poetry offers new insights, stimulates thinking; and contributes to a holistic education when used both in lectures and with paper assignments. Examples are presented of poems used in lectures and of poems integrated into students' papers. The paper examples include both poems written by the students and those selected by the students from the literature
