⭐ Yay for engagement! I've been begging my kids to give poetry a chance and this was the way to their hearts! They had a blast with this activity.
⭐ Amazing resource. The kids really enjoyed digging into the lyrics of so many songs. Such a great resource as it helped kids really pay attention to how different words created different meaning or how they impacted the mood of the song.
⭐ The students like using this resource. They struggled with the poetry unit this year, so I turned to songs to help them identify and understand elements of free verse, and they caught on so much faster! This resource was perfect and was right at their level of learning!
