When Autumn Falls : A primary poem about fall using the five senses
This is a simple poem that I love to create with my students after we read "When Autumn Falls" (or any fall book will do).
Students come up with one "fall thing" that corresponds to each of their five senses.
For example: I see (leaves falling down). I smell (apple pie). I feel (gooey pumpkin seeds).
It makes a stunning bulletin board display when combined with fall artwork.
This freebie includes directions and the colorful poem template.

How We Remember and Honor the Victims of the Holocaust: The Butterfly Project
The first year I taught Night by Elie Wiesel, I was struck by the sense of "unfinished-ness" my students felt upon completion of the text. They said they felt like there should be something "more." We talked about it, and realized that what we really wanted was a way to reflect and remember, and we weren't quite sure how to go about doing so.
As it often does during times of uncertainty, poetry presented itself as a fitting option.
In my research, I came across the book I Never Saw Another But

Author, poet and creative Austin Kleon has an unusual approach to words, he blacks out words in an existing text to create poetry. It's really quite amazing. It's also a different way to approach main idea and supporting details. I recommend incorporating a combination of fiction and academic passages. After putting this together, I sent him a copy of the lesson plan and he gave his blessings to share this process with the world.

Find Poetry resources | TPT
Learn more about poetry resources
Poetry encourages students to engage with language, explore their thoughts and feelings, and connect with the broader human experience. If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital poetry resources, look no further. TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.
If you want to make poets out of younger students in elementary grades, then acrostic poems or fill in the blank poems are the perfect place to start. (In fact, many poetry resources on TPT include templates so your students can easily get started producing their own poetry, whether it’s a haiku, or limerick.) For older students in middle and high school, you can find an array of resources to teach them about everything from iambic pentameter, figurative language, to famous poets from history. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your students’ poetry skills in no time.
Fun and engaging poetry activities to try
Teaching students about poetry can be an engaging and creative experience. Here are a few ideas for poetry activities that you can find on TPT to help you introduce and explore the world of poetry with your students:
Poetic Device Scavenger Hunt
Distribute some poems and have students identify and highlight poetic devices like similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and imagery. Discuss what these are and the overall impact on the reader's experience.
Poetry Analysis Jigsaw
Divide students into small groups, assigning each group a different poem. Have each group analyze the assigned poem's themes, tone, and literary devices, and present their findings to the class.
Poetry Slam or Performance
Organize a poetry slam where students can perform poems they’ve written themselves or those written by famous poets. This will help build confidence and strengthen their public speaking skills.
Writing Poetry from Different Perspectives
Ask students to write a poem from the perspective of an inanimate object or an animal to foster empathy and encourage creative, out-of-the-box thinking.
Creating Found Poetry
Provide magazines, newspapers, or online articles. Have students cut out interesting words and phrases, and use them to create their own unique poems.
These (and other!) activities can help deepen your students’ appreciation for poetry and enhance their creative writing skills.
