What is a good close activity to a Poetry Unit for Middle School?
I am looking for an awesome close to a poetry unit for a 7th grade language arts class! they are already working on an anthology of their work.
any help with this would be great!!
You could have a poetry slam, where they each pick their favorite poems and read them to the class.
Another idea, which I have used with 8th and 9th graders, is found poems. Have them bring in magazines and newspapers; you bring the scissors, glue, and paper. They have an hour to create a poem out of whatever words they can find. The only rule is that the poem must have a theme.
Good luck!
