Are your students bored of poetry? Get kids excited with Poet vs Poet basketball style brackets. Students read poems in competitive match ups, rating the poem quality based on the meaning, mood, form, and language the poet uses. Students learn to analyze poetry, and they become obsessed with their favorite poems. My kids LOVE this activity! JUST ADDED: Version Two Poet vs. Poet with even more exciting match ups! I kept some popular match ups the same, but added new match ups like Edgar Allan Poe vs Emily Dickinson. Choose the original Poet vs. Poet or the Version Two! 2020 Update: Digital Brackets! You can now share the brackets with students through Google Classroom. Students can click and advance poets through the brackets. Each poet is also linked to their poem. Students can click and read the poem saving you from printing the whole packet! Poet vs Poet includes two different versions of 16 poems by 16 different poets in flip book form so students can match up different poems, analyze and rate them, and decide which poet advances to the next round.
