Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Record basic bibliographic information (title and author) for a poem read in class.

  • Form and record a personal rating of a poem using a colored star scale.

  • Identify a structural feature of a poem by determining whether it rhymes.

  • Reflect in writing on something unique about the poem and illustrate a personal response to it.

Teaching tips

  • Use the editable Google Slides/PowerPoint version to type responses directly onto the organizer, or print the matching PDF for handwritten responses.

  • Pair the organizer with any poem your class is currently reading, since the template leaves the title, author, and poem itself blank.

  • Have students color in the star-rating box, since the field is marked for coloring rather than circling or writing.

Skills covered

  • Personal response and opinion-forming — students rate a poem and record their opinion using a colored star scale.

  • Poetic structure recognition — students determine and mark whether the poem rhymes.

  • Reflective and visual response — students name something unique about the poem and illustrate their interpretation of it in a drawing.
