Learning Literary Techniques Through Poetry

This unit teaches students about literary techniques through writing fun poetry.

It has 11 activities and lots of examples of poems using a variety of poetic techniques.

As a teacher of English, I have found that by planning, writing and reciting poetry students learn literary techniques that they can use in their writing in a fun way.

The literary techniques include:
 Hyperbole
 Metaphors
 Similes
 Personification
 Repetition
 Nouns and abstract nouns
 Verbs
 Onomatopoeia
 Alliteration
