Description
Historically speaking, poems started out as stories intended to be read aloud. Share poems the way they were MEANT to be read - with audio and video readings – while still achieving rigorous reading and creative writing!
This Poem of the Week Collection can be used in multiple ways, whether you want...
• more consistent poetry stretched throughout the year,
• to scaffold students up to more difficult poems,
• to compress these poems into a shorter unit in April, or
• to make poetry come alive alongside your other poetry instruction.
This collection of 45 poems presented in slideshow format incorporates ALL of the recommended CCSS exemplar poems for Grades 6-10! A wide variety of poets are represented: past and present, American and around the world, male and female, slam poet or written poems. (See the PREVIEW for a list of the poems included!)
Each Poem/Slide includes:
• 1-3 Links to the text, audio, and/or video (as available***)
• 3-5 Comprehension Questions (to assess understanding or Reading Literature standards)
• 1-3 Creative Writing Prompts (so students can write their own!)
This 55-slide, 3-page download includes:
• Slideshow: 45 slides of poems to choose from
• Teacher’s Guide: Includes a list of 12+ ways to use this collection in your classroom
• Student Handout: Applies to all poems to quickly check for understanding
• Both PDF and Editable files (via Google Slides!)
• BONUS: This download now includes a SHORT version/activity if you're in a hurry! Read more about the "intro to poetry" assignment in my blog post to find out how you can still use this download if you're short on time.
