Description
If you’re looking for the most fun and engaging way to teach students about different poets and poetry analysis, then you’re going to LOVE this set of Poet and Poem Studies! They’re designed with doodling, interaction, and creativity in mind!
That’s because they include informative Doodle Articles about each poet: Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and Maya Angelou. The coolest part is that students answer questions and create doodle responses to the nonfiction text about the poet directly in the article!
Then, students take the doodling a step further and complete Doodle Notes about each poet. So much fun! After students have developed a strong background on each poet, they’ll analyze one of the poet’s poems.
Finally, they’ll participate in repeated readings of the poem as their analysis of the poem becomes more and more complex. They’ll use their understanding of the poet as a basis for aspects of their analysis. Students will record their poem interpretations in an interactive flip book.
These Poet and Poem Studies are fun, educational, and a perfect way to study poetry in the classroom! You can teach them in succession as part of a large poetry unit, or you can spread them out over the course of an entire school year!
Resource Overview:
- This bundle includes Poet and Poem Studies for Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Emily Dickinson.
- Students will read a nonfiction passage about each poet. The article is an incredibly unique DOODLE ARTICLE. While reading the doodle article, they’ll answer questions and sketch doodles directly in the passage to show their understanding of the text.
- Then, students will fill in a Doodle Notes page to creatively respond to the text about the poets. Students will practice skills in sequencing, connecting to the text, questioning, evaluating, and synthesizing as they complete the Doodle Notes page.
- After building background information on the poet, students will analyze the following poems: “A Time to Talk,” “Harlem,” “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me,” and “A Bird, came down the walk.”
- As students analyze each poem, they'll complete a five-page interactive flip book. Students will complete repeated readings of the poems to develop deep interpretations and comprehension.
