This was perfect for a mini unit on poetry for my 4th graders! They loved learning about the different styles and we completed the project at the end. I was impressed with how much they learned in such a short time. Their poems turned out great!
My sixth grade ELA students responded well to this unit; even the reluctant writer.
Great resource!
