PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
***Update 3-10-14. The entire unit was rewritten with many added graphic organizers, posters, and other resources. If already purchased, please re-download.
This poetry unit was written for fourth to sixth grade. It was written to be taught as mini lessons for reading and writing workshop. Each lesson should take about 15 minutes. There are ten reading workshop mini-lessons and ten writing workshop lessons, so the unit should last about two weeks if done five times per week. The reading and writing mini lessons are meant to coincide, so can be done on the same day.
Additional materials needed to use the unit:
chart paper and sharpies
various poetry books
This is not a complete comprehensive poetry unit, but introduces the students to:
- different types of poems (both reading and writing them)

nicolecarcano on 28 Apr 15I used this song in my Literature class the other day! It's super catchy, and the kids loved it. They asked to watch it again, and even sang along. This woman has a whole bunch of really excellent grammar songs to spice an everyday lesson.
