Welcome!

I borrowed this unit plan from another teacher who has had remarkable success with his ninth grade students.  Many of them have become published authors using these techniques.  Try it.  Like broccoli or bacon, you may find that you like it.      

The Day number is your link to the lessons.   Each lesson gives you a format to follow and student examples.  In many cases your teacher will direct you to write more than one poem in a lesson.  This gives you an opportunity to use the form and, most often, create an even better poem in doing so.


Enjoy your lessons!  When you have finished, I would like to know how you did and how you like the lessons.
