Poetry Bell Ringers Bundle

Help students analyze poetry with all of my poetry bell-ringer resources. Each handout requires students to provide theme topics, theme statements, and text support for their responses. It includes 32 classic poems and graphic organizers that are "print and go." Depending on how you choose to use these, each set of bell ringers could last one week or several months Furthermore, a blank graphic organizer allows students to choose their own poems to analyze.

This bundle includes 140 pages. Because of the text variety, they are also great for differentiating and meeting the needs of diverse learners. With its detailed instructions and answer samples, this resource would make an excellent lesson for a substitute if you will be out for an extended period of time.
