-Excited to try poetry but not sure where to start?

Well, we can take care of ALL of those concerns for you!
Finally, an EASY TEACH unit that will have your kiddos writing 6 common forms of poetry in no time. Everything is print-and-go ready with easy-to-follow instructions!
This unit has everything you need to get started teaching!
Included is:

- 6 posters of the studied forms
- 6 student practice pages (1 per form)

- 6 BONUS PAGES that can be used for student-created wall posters or bulletin board displays!
-You will need to have mentor texts available in your classroom (or borrowed from the school/city/colleagues' libraries).
This unit does require you, as the teacher, to have a basic understanding of the six studied forms, which include:
- Haiku
- Couplets
- Cinquain
- Limerick
- Shape
- Acrostic
As mentioned, website links are included that will help refresh your memory of these forms.
This unit is versatile! You can use these materials for a short review or a full-scale unit! Tips and suggestions are included on how to make this work best for YOUR students and time frame!

"This packet allows you to use part of it or all of it. It is a terrific addition to a poetry unit, or it can stand alone. I would introduce a style of poetry using these worksheets, look at examples, and then try writing our poetry using the presented form—an excellent resource for a poetry unit." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
