Language Arts - "Poetry Unit: How to Write Eight Types of Poems"

By Christina L
Grades 2-5

This poetry unit contains instructions, templates, worksheets and topic ideas for creating 8 types of poems.
The poems covered include:

• Syllable Cinquain
• Tanka
• Haiku
• Diamante
• Parts of Speech Poem
• Name Acrostic
• Fives Senses Poem
• Silly Rhyme

Suggested Uses:

• Laminate the instructions/example of each poem to place in a poetry literacy center. Include copies of templates for students to create final copies. They can use the checklist to mark which poems they have done.
• Or, use the poems individually throughout the year. For example, pick one out to use for a holiday, a new season or even recent field trip. (The Five Senses Poem would be great to recall a field trip.)

Thanks for Looking!
