This resource from WISELearn Resources is a collection of primary sources exploring the poetry of Maya Angelou, giving students an experience in understanding the difference between primary and secondary sources and the opportunity to think critically about synthesizing information found across many sources. I plan to share this with my 8th grade ELA / SS teachers.

This is a short lesson that asks 8th graders to apply their knowledge of poetic elements and figurative language to song lyrics. I love using song lyrics when talking about poetry, and this seems like a fun way to combine the two.

I kept getting error messages for this and I did not get any luck even typing in phrases. It is to serve as an on-line rhyming dictionary for poets, songwriters, and so on.

Discover an endless library of free books, picture books, & poetry or use simple tools to create books in minutes. Storybird is a creative community where readers & writers celebrate storytelling. You can set up classrooms and manage what your students are doing by creating assignments. You can make a classroom library where they make their own stories and can be read by other students. On checkout days my students have a hard time sitting there and reading, I don't mind because I know they have to do things like this in class all day long! I let them go on their storybird account if they would like, they can read what their classmates have wrote or they can make a new story.
