Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Write an original poem describing a jungle animal, modeled after the style of a provided example poem.

Teaching tips

  • Read the sample poem aloud with students before assigning Exercise 1, since the instructions assume students have already seen a model poem in this file to imitate.

  • Confirm you can see the actual sample poem when opening the file yourself, since its text did not surface in an automated text scan of the PDF and may exist only as an image or design element on the page.

Skills covered

  • Descriptive animal poetry — students write an original poem about a jungle animal, modeled on a sample poem included in the resource.
