Instructional Ideas

• After kids write their poem drafts, have them write out edited final drafts and illustrate their imaginings

Classroom Considerations

• Make sure you emphasize the idea that the poem should be based around where their magical tickets took them
• While designed for elementary students, this idea could easily be adapted for older learners; it's all about imagination and sensory details

Pros

• The worksheets are high quality and guide learners through some brainstorming and creative thought
• The plan encourages pupils to explore their surroundings and tap into their imaginations

Cons

• None
