Poetry Writing and Study for Middle Grades

Poetry Writing and Study for Middle Grades is designed as an introductory writing text covering grades 6-9 with a specific focus on poetry devices and writing. This text includes 16 short units each focusing on a specific poetic or literary device. Each unit also includes classical poetry and various in class student activities in addition to writing poems that fit each unit. Educators may want to include additional materials to focus more on different aspects of poetry and critical thinking for higher or more advanced students. Educators can also include the added activities and separate grammar and language arts for a complete semester long Middle School English credit class.
