Have you ever told your class you were going to embark on a poetry unit only to be met with groans and sentiments like, "I haaate poetry!" Me too. A lot of kids think of poetry as tedious rhyming, which can be overwhelming to young learners. This packet will open your students' eyes to some different kinds of poetry; poetry that does not rhyme, but is still poetic in its own way. This poetry unit includes 5 poetry types, none of which involve rhyming: - Acrostic - Autobiographical - Cinquain - Diamante - Color I did not create these types of poetry. I simply put them in a format that will make it easier for a teacher like me to teach to her/his students. On the following pages are tips and tricks for teaching each one. You will also find an example of a completed poem for each type of poetry, and an outline for your students to use for their own poetry. Whenever I finish this unit, without fail, I have kids asking if they can “do more poetry!” EXTENSION IDEAS… o After completing the poetry unit, have each student choose their favorite one. Allow time for students to share their poems orally with the class, focusing on oral presentation skills. o Use iPads or computer labs and allow students time to type their poems (however many you choose), adding different fonts, colors, borders, etc. They are always excited to have them printed out so they can show them off! o Have students illustrate their favorite poem. This makes a great bulletin board! I hope you enjoy!
