IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for VETERANS' DAY!

 

Veterans' Day is Nov. 11. How will you honor our veterans?

The history of this special day seems like a great place to start. However, a dry recitation of the facts is uninspiring. Condense it with poetry!

This poem, and the Poetry Possibilities that accompany it, will provide a concise description of the day's origins.

Also found in this unit are poetry possibilities for pumpkins, Halloween, November, seasonal changes, Thanksgiving, and more! You can find this resource here:

Children's Book Week is also coming up, Nov. 3-9.

Celebrate it with poetry, too!

Naturally, there are teaching possibilities to accompany these poems. They can also be found in the Fall Poetry Possibilities unit.

IT'S ABOUT TIME for FALL POETRY!

 

Do you incorporate poetry into your daily lessons?  The potential for skills learned through poetry is nearly limitless.  Many students love learning through poetry because the text is less intimidating.

Check out these examples:

If you thought Johnny Appleseed poems were only for primary classes, you would be wrong.  The polysyllabic words are a great challenge to intermediate learners.  There are words with 5 syllables!  Have fun with this vocabulary by unscrambling them using the printable provided.  You can also work on fact and opinion with the another printable.

This apple poem can be used as a mentor text for couplets.  Or, focus on adjectives, creating an apple adjective tree.  Exercise verbal fluency and have fun brainstorming ways we use apples.

There are sooooo many possibilities for teaching with poetry.  Find these poems, lesson activities, and more in FALL POETRY POSSIBILITIES.
