POETRY MATERIALS
Poetry Contest link
The following slide decks are designed to help school librarians understand which grade levels the poems will work best with and how to write each poem. In addition, the slide decks include printable poetry templates, how-to videos, samples of each poem, and corresponding artwork. You can combine writing a poem with student art, use the poetry templates, and/or use the paw templates to write the poem inside.
Ideally, you would partner with your language arts/English teachers and students would write poems based on the book, Becoming a Good Creature by Sy Montgomery. Students can also complete the poems in the library during their library lessons.
