Five digital interactive and printable poetry creation activities for students to play with language, understand form and structure, and be creative with their poetry writing. Use as a bell ringer, early finisher, complementary activity in a unit, or bundle activities as rotating learning stations. NO PREP! PRODUCT INCLUDES: Google Slides™ and/or PowerPoint to assign digital version with your LMS PDFs with printable version of the activity FULL Teacher and Student instructions - NO PREP! Note: I have sorted each poetry activity as low, medium, or high risk for student learning and creativity. The sorting allows for differentiated and scaffolded learning for all of your students. These poetry activities are rated low risk. LOW RISK = strong structure and/or provided words to explore/play (e.g. blackout poetry) to introduce poetry concepts and terms. HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT? Poetry-specific unit. I use it as a way to break through students' discomfort with analyzing poetry. I find that trying to create their own poems demystifies poetry enough that they're willing to take risks to figure out just what William Carlos Wiliams is doing with that red wheelbarrow! National Poetry Month in April. A great start to each class or at the end of the week with creation stations with 3-5 poetry activities. Random days throughout the year so students explore form & play with words. ***************************************************************************************** Like this product?
