What's inside this resource

This End of the School Year Limerick Activity is a great resource to have your students review writing Limericks.

Students will be indicated to write a fun limerick about the end of the school year, and summer vacation following the format of a limerick. They will be reminded that a limerick is a stanza and that it follows the format of set rhyming lines: AABBA. Limericks serve as literary devices. They are a form of poetry.

In this End of the School Year Limerick Activity students will read a sample and then write their own.
