Second Grade Poetry Unit - Simple Poems - Short Poems - Poetry Comprehension

Great distant learning packet. Bring poetry and figurative language back to basics with this collection of poems and activities that correlate with Common Core Standards. I created my own simple poems, so that I could really focus on the poetry elements that I needed to teach.

I feel that students should start with the basics, and then they can move on to longer, deeper, and more difficult poems.

Included:

• Five short poems with questions
• Two longer poems with two pages of questions related to each poem.
• Poetry Vocabulary Anchor Chart (colored and black and white available)
• Figurative Language Anchor Chart (colored and black and white available)
• Answer Keys provided
• Two worksheet opportunities for students to write his/her own poems.

In this packet, the students will answer questions and respond to the poems. Students will have the opportunity to add to a given poem, and they will also be prompted to create his/her own poem. Answer key is provided.

Elements of poetry:

Alliteration

Rhythm/Meter

Rhyme Pattern

Stanza

Repetition

Figurative Language (similes, metaphor, onomatopoeia, and idiom)
