The Gateway provides excellent lesson plans. Grade levels are given for each one. Users can view, share, and comment on each lesson. There are also activities and projects in addition to the lesson plans.
Education World provides numerous lesson ideas for educators, for example how to celebrate National Poetry Month, teaching 30 poets in 30 days, teaching haiku, and how to have a poetry slam. Great resource for teachers!
