Teaching poetry…we either love it or hate it. I’m in the “love” category. Why? Poems are simply songs without the music…and middle schoolers love music. Once they understand that, and once we simplify the poetry writing process, they usually are in the “love” category as well. One way to simplify the process is by giving kids specific types of poems to write.
We will discuss how to write:
- Found Poems
- Calligrams
- Mask Poems
- Inanimate Object Poems
- Color Poems
