April is National Poetry Month, and it’s the perfect time to inspire middle school students to explore their creativity with words. If you’ve ever wondered how to write poetry in a way that’s fun, accessible, and engaging, these five activities are a great place to start. Each encourages self-expression, creativity, and a love for language, while giving teachers easy-to-use tools to guide students. There are practical tips to get started, plus I’ve given you some resources from my TPT store as well as a free product if you want extra support.
We will discuss:
1. "I Am" Poems
2. Color Poems
3. Acrostic Poems
4. List Poems
5. Shape/Concrete Poems
