Pick one of four "units" here, listen to the poetry and then use the ideas for writing to have a complete lesson.
If you explore our website's pages, you will find prompts, lessons, and resources that were created and shared--and then posted here--during workshops and in-service classes sponsored by the North Nevada Writing Project.
Preview these games for appropriateness for your students before assigning them. Who Killed Angela Spelling? under Reading may be considered inappropriate.
Wide variety of games for grammar, reading, and vocabulary here.
This Harcourt game has students choose from prefixes and suffixes to add to a root word, then determine which sentence in which it makes sense.
In this interactive game, students click and drag given words and punctuation to make complete sentences.
This school has put together a wide variety of websites and activities for practicing literacy skills. Some of these are more suited to struggling students. Many will work great on interactive whiteboards.
Activities here from Jack Prelutsky, Karla Kuskin, and Jean
Marzollo.
Click "play" and choose from 4 different kits of words that you can click and drag to a refrigerator or other background. Once done, you can save the poem and email it.
Great site for other websites about poetry, with poetry collections, information about types of poetry, etc.
This site is as much about parts of speech as it is about poetry. Poems are generated from word lists which can be added to.
This site has 3 different "tools" for creating very specific types of poems. Lessons and exemplars are included.
This is magnet words on a refrigerator in its purest form. Choose words and arrange them at this site. You can type the resulting poem in a form on the site and email it--or simply take a screen shot of it to preserve it.
Read*Write*Think version of refrigerator magnets. Nice feature is that you can add your own words to this one and you can print your resulting poem.
This is more "refrigerator" poetry play, but this site is collaborative. If you visit periodically, you can see the changes others make to your creations.
This magnetic poetry site is specificly for creating Haiku. It will generate random Haiku for you from the words, or you can click and drag words to the workspace at the bottom. Nice feature--it will only let you drag the requisite number of words to each line.
Read*Write*Think tool. This tool is really a wizard that leads the student through the process of writing a shape poem on a particular chosen theme.
This page on the site has some of their popular poetry activities. Some are simply "fill in the blank"
