Original Prompt

Create a flipbook for students to glue in their notebooks about poetic elements and figurative language

This resource, titled 'My Poetry Toolbox,' aims to enhance students' understanding and creativity in poetry by introducing essential poetic devices. The learning objective is for students to define, identify, and create their own examples of six poetic elements: similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole, alliteration, and onomatopoeia. Each section includes a clear definition and relatable examples, followed by opportunities for students to try crafting their own examples. Additionally, a 'Toolbox Challenge' encourages students to write a short stanza using at least two of the learned elements, promoting practical application and creativity in poetry writing. A metacognitive check is also included to help students reflect on their learning experience.
