How I Used This Resource
For the print version, I have students write initial drafts of the poems in their notebooks first, and after self-editing, peer-editing, and teacher checking they can publish their drafts on the provided lined sheets. Use the ‘My Anthology of Poems’ cover sheet to compile each student’s poems into a poetry anthology. This will definitely be a memorable keepsake for your students.
For the digital Google Slides version, I assign a couple of poems at a time via Google Classroom. Students refer to the sample poem alongside to write out their own version. They ‘Turn it’ in when completed. Students also present their poems to the class.
