This 15-day instructional poetry unit introduces students to different forms of poetry through daily lessons involving creative exercises, group discussions, and independent practice. Each day focuses on a different poetic concept or device like figurative language, meter, rhyme, and various poetic forms. Students work in small groups to analyze poems, imitate poetic styles, and provide feedback on drafts. The unit culminates in a final project where students write and present an original poem of their choosing to the class.
