I LOVE this resource! The poems included were perfect for introducing my students to some excellent poets, and the format for working with a poem a week was easy for me to work into my very full ELA block. The kids were excited every time I told them we were going to work on their fall poems. We were able to address so many skills and standards with this resource: visualization, poetic devices, figurative language, theme,…. We enjoyed this so much that I picked up the December/ Winter poems!
