Poetry | Writing Prompts by Genre | Idea Starters for Poems

These easy writing prompts are super helpful! Each page focuses on a type of poetry with a brief description of that types characteristics and an example poem. These worksheets are a great way to add to your lessons without adding to your workload!

How To Use This:

The beauty of these prompts is they are so simple to use! Just print and hand out to your students! You can choose to use them as you study each type of poetry or allow your students to choose which type of poetry they want to work on.
