Instructional Ideas

• Have pairs review the two literary concepts together, and to work on their poems together
• Use the activities in a unit about poetic devices

Classroom Considerations

• A misplaced space in the description in the word your may affect understanding; clear up the typo before learners begin the assignment
• Provide more instruction for the final activity on each page, as young poets may need a little more guidance when applying their new knowledge to creative tasks

Pros

• Applicable to any language arts class
• Provides examples of each device, as well as opportunities for learners to make their own poetry

Cons

• None
