Poetry: Unit Overview
Take your students on a journey of discovery as they encounter and explore poetry that is both famous and fun! The unit begins with a tuning-in lesson, the big idea being that poetry is “painting with words.” Move on to silly, word-play poetry from Shel Silverstein, story poems, and poems so enticing that they were turned into musicals and brought to the stage. Finally, let your students perform poetry with poems written for two voices. These lessons reinforce work being done in the classroom while highlighting the poetry collection and exposing your students to a new form of literature.
