Consisting of a thorough and straightforward list of poetry terminology, the first part of this presentation would be a good introduction to a poetry unit, or a review for an upcoming poetry project. The list of terms is quite extensive, so you might show the presentation over several days. The second part of the slide show is about humor in poetry, namely limericks. The last two slides prompt students to write their own limericks using a copy change.
