This unit teaches students about literary techniques through writing fun poetry.
It has 11 activities and lots of examples of poems using a variety of poetic techniques.
As a teacher of English, I have found that by planning, writing and reciting poetry students learn literary techniques that they can use in their writing in a fun way.
The literary techniques include:
Hyperbole
Metaphors
Similes
Personification
Repetition
Nouns and abstract nouns
Verbs
Onomatopoeia
Alliteration
