Poetry Genre Project
(Assigned 4/7/14; due NO LATER THAN Thurs. 5/8/14, after
CRCT)
April is National Poetry
Month! To celebrate, you need to read at least five different poems. (They may be by the same author but they do
not have to be.) Jack Prelutsky and Shel
Silverstein are two fabulous poets for children, and they both have websites
that you might enjoy.
- For your project, on your own paper, you must write the title and author of each of the five poems you read. Write a brief summary of each poem. Find at least one type of figurative language in each poem. Explain or interpret what the author means. Also share why you chose each of the five poems.
- Next, choose ONE poem to copy accurately and illustrate on a separate sheet of paper. Make sure that your illustrations “match” the poem. Include your name, the author’s name, and the title of the poem. (This poem will be displayed in the classroom or hallway.)
- Finally, choose ONE poem to read aloud to the class. Be sure to practice reading it aloud fluently and with expression. You will need to have one copy for you to read from (unless you choose to memorize it) and another copy to turn in before you read aloud.
Please turn in all pieces of this
project together (no later than 5/8).
You may certainly present and turn in your work early! (*THIS PROJECT COUNTS AS TWO
READING TEST GRADES and AN ELA TEST GRADE!)
BONUS: Research different
styles/types of poetry. Write your own
original poem and illustrate it.
