What educators are saying

My students LOVED this poem, and they really enjoyed these activities that went along with the poem. Thank you so much for sharing this!
This was an enaging resource for my students. I didn't use all of the resources in this packet, but used a lot of them.

Description

**Newly Updated with Digital Links! The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt is an engaging seasonal poem perfect for character analysis, either in PRINT or DIGITAL form! Students will practice their poetry analysis skills, make inferences about both characters, and create some of their own poetry, too. It's perfect for Halloween, fall, or a spiders unit! It's ready to Print and Go!

What's Included:

1. 2 versions of "The Spider and the Fly" poem. One version is shortened.

3. Comprehension pages - character analysis

4. Templates/Directions for writing poetry about the characters

8. (NEWLY ADDED) Digital Links for the poem, comprehension pages, poetry writing pages, and comprehension questions!!!!

This product is perfect for fall, Halloween, or a study of spiders and/or insects. It’s also great to use along side Aesop’s fables, as it follows the same type of structure, just in poetry form. Great for discussions on theme, too. All you have to do is print and go!

Also, check out my Spider and the Fly readers’ theater (coming soon!).
