Poetry Patterns & Themes;

Help your students discover the fun of writing poetry using the engaging activities in Poetry Patterns & Themes. With 41 types of poetry covered, your students will practice everything from traditional verse (couplets, haiku) to more colorful selections (sneaky poetry, inside-outside poetry). Each lesson introduces the poetic form with a definition and example of the poetry covered. Then a step-by-step writing form leads students through the process of creating their own works of art. Youll love Poetry Patterns & Themes because it: supports 6-Trait writing, makes teaching poetry easy, inspires reluctant writers, addresses grade-appropriate topics and themes, includes resources and directions for creating a poetry portfolio, and is correlated to state standards. Each lesson in Poetry Patterns & Themes contains two components: A teacher page and A reproducible student work form.
