Have fun with shape poems! First and second graders write calligrams that add to the meaning of their poems. Great for your poetry unit or if you want to combine poetry and art lessons. 

Rather than a lesson, this resource is a list of poetic forms and young poets are encouraged to try their hand at composing poems of various types.

Learners write shape poems using their content knowledge and sensory awareness of a familiar object. Students first learn about the characteristics and format of a shape poem.
