To end our celebration for National Poetry Month, we have prepared 3 fun poetry-related lesson plans that you and your students will enjoy! Your students will have fun learning about poetry and how to write a Haiku and diamante poem.

Remember:  You can use Voki lesson plans for a higher, or lower, grade than the one you teach. These Voki lesson plans can be adapted and customized to fit your unique style or your students’ abilities!

My Favorite Poem – Students will learn about the characteristics of a poem. They will read several sample poems and discuss how they feel about each poem. They will research and identify their favorite poem. Students will create a Voki discussing why it is their favorite poem.
