Poems can be silly, serious, or fun, just like kids! Whether it's the singsong
rhythm of a limerick, the
serendipitous magic of a found poem, the deceptive simplicity of a haiku, or the easy familiarity of an acrostic
poem, children are charmed by poetry. And what's more fun than reading poetry? Writing it! In Explore Poetry!
With 25 Great Projects children have fun learning about different forms of poetry while delving into different
literary techniques such as personification, metaphor, and alliteration, all of which are discussed in a simple and
accessible way.
Activities include creative writing exercises designed to reinforce language arts skills, plus art projects that
encourage children to visualize concepts and definitions. Short biographies of important poets reinforce the
concept of poetry as an important part of society.
