Our district doesn’t supply us with great poetry writing resources. This was a fantastic addition to our unit. Exposed students to types of poems they’d never heard of before and love the modeling/drafting components.

This is my first time teaching ELA in my 15+ years and this resource has helped the students as well as myself tremendously.

Kelly F. –
We are using this in our homeschool for my 4th grade son!
Jenny B. –
With a fabulous example of each form of poetry, students are able to follow the sample to create a similar poem of their own. Having a space for a rough copy, good copy, and an illustration is what made this a great experience for my 4’s and 5’s.

This resource had everything I needed for my Poetry unit. It gave me plenty of time to prep other items needed for the unit and my students got a full understanding of each poem with plenty of time to craft their own poems. Would HIGHLY recommend this resource!

There is so much packed into this unit! I love the variety of forms. The activities break each poetry form down so that students can create original poems with confidence.
Hannah B. –
This was an awesome buy! My 5th graders were ready to learn about poetry, but our curriculum didn’t have anything to teach it. This was very thorough, and super easy to follow! I enjoyed how it gave them lots of space to work and different opportunities to write their poems. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for poetry resources.

Zero prep poetry unit for the end of the year. Easy to make this what you want it to be.
Melinda F. –
This resource really was helpful in helping me teach my poetry unit. I was getting frustrated with our writing curriculum and this helped me spell things out more easily. It had all the resources and a couple extra fun things. I did have to go on and find a couple other resources to “define” the expectations of the different poems but otherwise it was great!

I needed a unit I could use at the end of the year when it’s hard to plan from one day to the next. This unit was perfect since each poem can take 1-4 days.
