This unit teaches students tools and strategies for approaching poetry to both read and interpret poems. It gives them continual opportunities to create poems themselves, allowing them to practice what they have learned. We will be ending our unit with a poetry SLAM where students get the opportunity to share some of their poems in a fun and cozy atmosphere.
