Recording Artists

What to Do: Practice crucial speaking and listening skills by allowing your students to make recordings of their favorite poems. To start, let students listen to recordings of poets reading their own work. Next, let students choose a poem and practice reading it aloud.

Stanza Bonanza

What You Need: Exemplar poems such as “Autumn” by Emily Dickinson, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost, or “Eating While Reading” by Gary Soto

What to Do: Teach kids about craft and structure by remixing their favorite poems. First, show students that all texts—including stories, poems, and dramas—have a structure. Explain that in stories, writers use sentences and paragraphs to organize ideas. In poetry, poets use stanzas. Allow students to read several poems with different kinds of stanzas (for instance, two-, three-, and four-line stanzas). Ask them to talk about why the poet might have chosen that particular structure.

Imagine a Poem

Using imagery, or sensory details, can help bring a story or poem to life. Ask your students to close their eyes as you read "Oranges” by Gary Soto. Tell them to imagine the scene in their minds and notice how the poet uses many of the senses.

Suggestive Sensory Poems

What It Is: A sensory poem, or five-senses poem, describes how a poet perceives what something looks like, tastes like, smells like, feels like, and sounds like. It does not need to rhyme.
