Text Structures From Poetry, Grades 4-12: Lessons to Help Students Read, Analyze, and Create Poems They Will Remember, Gretchen Bernabei, Laura Van Prooyen

Ignite a love of poetry in students using the magic of poems themselves

“Pop the hood” on a poem to discover what makes it work by using text structures to unlock the engine of a poem. Fifty unique and engaging lessons each include a mentor poem that serves as an excellent model for young writers, a diagram that illustrates the text structure of the poem, and inspiring examples of student poems written to emulate the mentor poem. Identify how the parts of a poem relate to each other to create movement and soon your students will be writing their own evocative poems.
