Diamante Poems

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Diamante Poems interactive also includes:
  • Diamante Poems (.html)
  • Join to access all included materials

The blank page can be a huge hurdle to overcome when writing a poem. Take that hurdle away with an interactive format that enables pupils to write elegant diamante poems. After they add the first and last words in two separate fields, the format guides individuals through the rest of the poem, prompting them to share or print their finished work.
