Description

Celebrate the spring season with five spring-themed poems in this hands-on and engaging 5-day poetry analysis unit. Each spring poem study includes a 5-page interactive flip book that helps students deeply understand the poem. As students progress through the analysis tasks on each page of their flip books, they not only dive deeper into the text, but they also develop an appreciation for closely reading poetry. Your students will love the interactive flip books and you’ll love how engaged students are while analyzing poetry.

Great news! DIGITAL VERSIONS INCLUDED!

All 5 of the poetry analysis flip books are available as a Google Slides resource for students. In addition to the PDF version, students can complete the flip book pages via a file sharing service such as Google Drive, Google Classroom, or in the internet “cloud.” The digital versions of the poetry flip books are accessible from any computer and allow students to complete their work online.

Great value
I am a homeschool teacher wanting to introduce poetry into our family lessons. This was the perfect resource for us because we were able to include many different levels without it being watered down for the older ones or too difficult for the younger ones. Everyone participated as they could, and we loved the staggered paper lessons that built on each other, both physically on paper and through out the week. Brain Waves Instruction is a great resource that continues to impress me!
