In honor of World Poetry Day on March 21st I thought I'd post a quick review activity for poetry terms / figurative language. You can use this worksheet as review for a quiz or as an introduction to poetry terms (just work on one term at a time). I often have the students work on their own examples and write them on the board at the front of the room. My students (I've done this with grades 8-12) love the chance to write on the board and share their poetry prowess with others. I usually have 4-5 whit eboard pens out at a time and once a student has written their example on the board, they must pass the pen to a new student. There's less pressure on the students if there's more than one person writing on the board at the same time, and they can write their ideas anonymously. I usually end up with a giant free-flowing board of really great examples and the kids love to read what others have come up with.

Do your young learners have poetry journals?! Mine do and we love them. The main question I have been asked in the past is what I put inside my journals and I created a resource to help answer that question. Most of the poems in our poetry journals are phonics poems, but I also […]

English singer-songwriter Florence Welch’s home office looks like the perfect spot to pen indie folk songs and poetry in. The lead vocalist of the rock band Florence and the Machine shared a glimpse into the swoonworthy pastel space on Instagram. Defined by romantic cottagecore features, Welch’s space takes design cues from traditional English countryside aesthetics and grandmillennial style. (Hello, floral daffodil wallpaper!

POEMS? That 5-letter word will send shivers down the spines of middle school students. Add in the suggestion of "poetry analysis," and the moans and groans can be heard throughout the hallways! If all this sounds familiar, I have a few teacher tips to help you boost engagement with poems that middle schoolers actually enjoy!
Better Than a Book Report! Students Must Examine How a Character Thinks & Feels. Teacher Example (For The Diary of Anne Frank) Follow These Easy Steps: 1) Student selects a literary character or teacher selects characters for students. 2) Students take about five minutes to brainstorm any ideas they have about what is likely going on inside their characters' minds such as: recurring thoughts, fears, joyful thoughts, strong memories, recent feelings, recurring images, dreams, convictions they live by, things they say a lot, how their minds work, etc. Students can make lists or quickly jot down ideas on a scratch piece of paper. 3) Using the template provided below, students turn their ideas into images, quotations, and miscellaneous "thoughts" going on in their characters' minds. The final product should be visually appealing and neat. In my example below, I focused on about 13 total "thoughts" going on in the mind of Anne Frank.
