An introduction to modern poetry. Even skeptical poetry readers should be intrigued by these short, simple, strange, poems.
Students are encouraged to come to their own conclusions about constitutes modern poetry, by comparing three Imagist poems (by Pound, Williams, and H.D.).
In the second lesson, students are shown at a sentence level how the poems work, and are provided with structured guidance, including images for inspiration, to help them write their own versions.
Everything you need for the lessons is here, including a differentiated worksheet.
It should be accessible and challenging for most students from Grade 6 up.
