Description
INTERACTIVE POETRY UNIT
The perfect poetry unit to turn middle school students on to poetry. Students learn the elements of poetry and types of poetry with examples. Students write six pattern poems and analyze three famous poems. The unit also includes elements of poetry and types of poetry test. The unit is interactive and student directed and assessed.
This unit is Common Core aligned but was developed long before Common Core. It has been aligned so it can be implemented in any classroom. The goal of this unit is to turn students on to poetry no matter what standards your school or state uses. If you disagree with Common Core then disregard the alignment, if your state has adopted Common Core then it is aligned so you can use it.

This unit also encourages teachers to have their students write and illustrate extra favorite poems, in addition to the ones in the unit, to be bound or contained in a poetry book and or folder.
