We just started using this resource. My students enjoyed the first poem and the activities that went along with it. I am doing the poetry analysis and the comparison of poems to make it more rigorous.

I hung the posters for the students to utilize as a point of reference and utilized the worksheets as supplemental materials for our poetry unit. The kids really liked the included poems and utilized the posters for reference. They enjoyed hanging their completed poems on the display area with the posters.
