Why This Is a Must: Demystify poetry in this introductory course. Perfect for students looking to learn more about the basics of poetic devices, forms of poetry, and how to write their own. If poetry feels like a puzzle you don't know how to solve, this course will give you the key!
Included in this course:
pre-recorded lessons
poetic devices "cheat sheet"
supported analysis of a variety of poetry
guided exercises to help you write your own
These lessons are built on academic standards for students in grades 6-8, and include materials to support students who are learning these skills at an introductory level.
These lessons are built on academc standards for students in grades 9-12, and include materials which provide a more in-depth study of the featured topics, skills, and materials.
At the beginning of the course, you'll receive the pre-recorded lessons and class materials for the whole course. I suggest a pace of one lesson (with accompanying activities) a week, though you are welcome to complete them at any time during the 4 week term. At the end of each week, I will hold online "office hours" via Zoom, during which we can connect to discuss your progress as well as any questions you may have. When the term is over, you will lose access to the videos, but your learning materials (worksheets, downloads, etc.) are yours to keep.
