Poetry Writing Lessons - Free Poetry Scaffolds & Creative Ideas

 

Creating a Passion for Poetry Writing in Your Students

One of my mentors once asked me how I foster a love of poetry in my students. I had to get back to her as I knew I didn't ;) I then did some reading on the subject, created some of my own scaffolds and introduced a new type of poetry to my class every two weeks. Here are just a few of the scaffolds & lessons I developed.
