Poetry - Writing a Villanelle - Celebrate National Poetry Month!

Created by

Flee Ennui

Your students will learn about the characteristics of a villanelle, read one by Dylan Thomas, and then create their own imitation villanelle.

Experience

Teaching style

I like to teach the whole individual, keeping in mind social-emotional learning. Usually, I give students interest surveys or questionnaires to learn more about them. I design instructional strategies, curriculum, and assessments based on common core standards, individuals' learning styles, and formative information.
