I absolutely loved this lesson. I teach on the middle school level so I decided to use Langston Hughes' poetry and it was a very big success!!!

Peer Editing Checklist has the wrong form of there used. It is written as "their" when it should be "there".

I used this idea for my lesson, and it was a huge success! The only modification I made was that I had the students create a haiku poem because it is very short and structured. Some students created more than one. I'll definitely reuse this.
