Students examine a letter of the alphabet from all angles, creating image pools of original metaphors that they then turn into poems.

Students use their own poetry to analyze syntax, imagery, and meaning in a one-sentence poem by a canonical author to decide what makes it a poem.

Students use themed graphic organizers to compose cinquain poems on topics common in the early elementary classroom.

This lesson encourages students to immerse themselves in poetry as they share their original poems orally and digitally with published poets and peers nationwide.

What if students could see the relevance of their school curriculum to real-world, interesting, STEM-related careers? Let's help them create a great future!
