My poetry unit lasted for four days. I wish it could have lasted about two weeks but the students had a blast.
Day One: Introduction
Day Two: Figurative Language: Simile, Metaphor, Personification, Hyperbole
Day Three: Descriptive Language: Senses
Day Four: Repetition and Word Placement
Students were exposed to a wide range of poetry types on day one. The rest of the days they learned about new devices and strategies to implement into their own poetry. Each day the students watched me model, we completed a shared writing, independent writing, and then time for students to share their work.
