TechnoPoet

In this activity, students write fun, silly tongue twisters about themselves using the easy to follow poetry lesson plans. The challenge is to use as many words as possible that begin with the same sound. A worksheet guides students through the writing. Suggested ideas, examples, words, and tips assist students who might get stumped.

Tongue Twister

With the poetry collection complete, students learn how to edit a document for spelling errors. Afterwards, they print the file and staple the pages together to form a booklet.

The culminating activity in the poetry lesson plans is a Poetry Reading. The teacher guide suggests a variety of ways, including props, music, and lighting, to make this a successful and memorable event.
