Have fun this Valentine’s Day with a Valentine’s Day themed poetry lesson (or two). Poems have been selected to ensure challenge, without too much sappiness or ick! After all, we know how middle schoolers can feel about love poetry! By creating a one-pager response, rather than a response to literature essay, this resource removes some of the fear factor some students feel when exploring poetry. After, students can use the poems to create a found Valentine’s Day poem of their own. Happy Valentin
