Poetry Writing Unit for Fall

This poetry resource has your students working with poetic devices, figurative language, and different forms of poetry, all with a Fall theme. Each device and type of poetry has a definition and original example. Students will create a booklet full of their own poetry and examples, as well as a Fall leaf writing craft that makes a beautiful classroom display of learning.

Poetic devices include: alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, rhyme, repetition, rhyme scheme, and simile. Poetry forms include: acrostic poem, cinquain, diamante, free verse, haiku, limerick, and quatrain.

Each device and form is on a half sheet of paper. Students will cut the papers in half and staple together to form their booklet.

A success criteria page, as well as a rubric are included in this resource. They are also on half pages so they can be easily included into the booklet, if you wish.
