April is Poetry Month, but why wait to get started? March is the perfect time to explore engaging ways to teach your students about poetry. After implementing these strategies, you'll be amazed at how quickly your students are able to read, write, and understand poetry... and even more surprised to discover how much your students come to love poetry, too! Most of the activities were designed for upper elementary students, but many can be adapted for younger or older students. Even if you haven't enjoyed teaching poetry in the past, you might find yourself looking forward to your next poetry unit!
