Ideas for National Poetry Month.
Introduce poetry to your students by reading poems aloud that they are interested in. Poems by Jack Prelutsky and Shel Silverstein are all-time student favorites.
Ideas for sharing student poetry:
- Have students keep a Poetry Journal.
- Write poetry with your students and share all the poetry on a bulletin board or publish a class poetry book.
- Introduce a new poem each day.
- Have students create poetry collages.
- Cut words from magazines to make poetry posters.
- Consider having a poetry slam, a “competition” at which poets read or recite original work.
- Host a poetry café and invite parents. (Serve hot chocolate.)
- Video students reading their poetry.
- Include music. Remember lyrics are poems.
