Ask students for poem ideas and then choose one of those ideas for the poem. This is a good place to start before students create their own poems. Take a look at these different perspectives on reading and writing poetry from some of our favorite poets, featured in our poetry section! Group Poem I have linked to a number of online resources throughout the article from websites such as, Education World,, PBS, ReadWriteThink, EdSitement, ArtsEdge, and Scholastic, but there are many, many more websites devoted to teaching poetry out there - this is just a sample!
#READWRITE THINK POEMS HOW TO#
My own knowledge of poetry forms was pretty limited before I began teaching poetry, but here are some poetry forms that work effectively with students, as well as some ideas of how to help students try their hand at writing! I recommend beginning with simple poetry styles such as the ones that follow, as these forms offer a lot of structure and students of all English levels will find them easier to work with. You may also wish to use poetry writing as an activity in other content-area lessons, or trying having students write some of these poems as riddles that their classmates have to figure out. Focus on each form before moving on to the next one so that students have a chance to master it. Read some poems that fit the structure or format, discuss unique rhyming or line patterns, and then have students try writing on their own, using the poems read in class as a model.
Writing poetry is a great exercise for English language learners.
