Planning for Poetry Unit



I purchased this fabulous bundle from Erin Beers and wanted to add some anchor charts, Prezi's, YouTube videos, and more.  I spend a ton of time finding everything for my class blog, so I thought I'd share it with you.  It's a work in progress, but here's what I have so far...

Photo of Walt Whitman. Many students read “Oh Captain, My Captain”—but often don’t realize that Walt Whitman composed that poem to capture his emotions at hearing of President Lincoln’s assassination.

 Alliteration

Ingredients for good writing...I teach the kids to look at the word alliteration...it begins with ALL. I tell them that with alliteration several if not ALL of the words in a phrase or sentence begin with the same consonant sound. We practice a few tongue twisters.:

Imagery

Imagery is one of my personal favorite things about reading and writing. This pin is a great way to incorporate imagery which Duffy states is, "using prior knowledge about [descriptive] words and about our senses to create an image in the mind" (Duffy, p.117). "The relationship between reading and writing is particularity clear when teaching imaging...the more students practice composing text that helps readers create images, the better they will be at creating images as readers" (p. 121).:

Thanks so much, Erin!  I'm looking forward to using this in the next two weeks.  Your bundle truly saved me a ton of time.  Now I don't have to find the poems, create graphic organizers, or create an interactive notebook.
