This packet of resources will fit in perfectly with your reading or writing unit on poetry.
In the download you will find:
1) A poetry spinner that can be used in small groups to encourage critical thinking about the poems they are reading
2) A graphic organizer that can be used with any poem to help guide your students thinking as they read through the poem
3) A Mini-bulletin board set with poetry-term definition cards as well as cards with different types of poetry genres. (Headings included for both)
4) Graphic Organizer sheets for several types of poems including cinquain, haiku, bio, shape,diamante, acrostic, and couplet poems. These sheets can be used either to create a poetry book for your students or as planning sheets for student writing!
5) Fluency Voice Cards - perfect for a fluency center to have students practice reading a poem using different expressions.
Whether you do an in-depth study on poetry or just touch on it during April (National Poetry Month) you will find this packet helpful for you and your students!
The actual product is nice, but the document does not print. I'm not sure if others have had this problem. I contacted the seller, but haven't heard back.
Hi there. I actually did respond several days ago with a suggestion of how to fix the printing issue. Please check back your original question to see the suggestions. I have also left my email there for you to contact me directly in case you need me to email the document directly. Thanks
Typo on the free verse definition. Should say, "It can sound the way the author wants it to." It actually says, "It can sound the way the author want it to."
Otherwise, loved it.
This will work beautifully for our brief poetry unit! I will be having the students implement all of these great definitions and so on in envelope graphic organizers. You saved me a lot of time by putting this together so nicely!

I have emailed you. The document will not print in Adobe. It keeps saying that the pages are not selected. Please help me with this problem. I really want to use this for my poetry unit this week. Thanks

This document is not allowing me to print. I have tried it on several printers and computers. It is giving me a message that the document is unable to print. Is there another download?
Hi there. Make sure you are opening the document directly from Adobe (and using the most updated version of Adobe) -a lot of times these two things will fix the problem. If you still have issues, please email me at Rachael.Parlett@gmail.com

Hi I have just purchased this unit of work from you and every time I try to download it I am getting a message saying that the file is damaged and cannot be opened. I was wondering if you would be able to email an undamaged version. Thanks
