ReadWriteThink: Lesson Plan: Found Poems/Parallel Poems - 0 views
-
Wendy Windust on 13 Jan 09Students compose found and parallel poems based on a descriptive passage they have chosen from a piece of literature they are reading. They pick out words, phrases and lines from the prose passage then arrange and format the excerpts to compose their own poems. This process of recasting the text they are reading in a different genre helps students become more insightful readers and develop creativity in thinking and writing.
