Description

This digital poetry unit will have your students writing and enjoying poetry in no time! Students will learn different poetry forms as well as review figurative language. It is full of fun and engaging activities. Students will work directly in Google Slides to complete the activities.

What is included

• 24 Google Slides presentation to use as an introduction to poetry vocabulary and figurative language. The slides are 11 x 8.5 and can be printed to use as posters.
• The Google slides poetry activities has 25 slides. Students will need to type on each slide to complete different activities. I added text boxes every place students need to type.
• Links to poems for students to read online. All of the links lead to two different websites: www.poetryfoundation.org and www.poetry4kids.com. I can not include the poems in the lesson due to copyright restrictions. I suggest adding a blank slide to the copy you assign to students. On the blank slide include links to the poems you want students to read.
