I’ve put together a fun and engaging 8-week identity poetry unit. We’ve been diving into the cool twists and turns of language, learning how to structure our thoughts and feelings into poetic form. Throughout the journey, I’ve made sure to give students a mix of challenges and support, so everyone can find their groove. From dissecting the magic of poetic tools to writing our own verses about who we are, every activity is designed to make poetry come alive in exciting ways. We’re not just reading poems; we’re living them!
I made this for ages 11-14 at my current international school. However, my students are exceptionally bright so I do not doubt that this unit can help support older years with a few tweaks.
