Instructional Ideas

  • If you are short on time in the classroom, assign exercise one or two for homework 
  • Invite authors to read their poem to their peers, either in front of the class or in small groups 

Classroom Considerations

  • The lesson is written in a kid-friendly format so they can read and follow the plan independently 
  • Learners should be familiar with action verbs 

Pros

  • A thorough description is provided 
  • A linked vocabulary term takes you to an online dictionary 

Cons

  • The poem excerpt is typed using a font color that could be challenging to read
