Poetry - Collection 1

Loving poetry deepens students’ language skills, vocabulary, and understanding of English. Research shows poetry lovers become stronger readers and writers. Teach BIG’s poetry collections mix original and classic poems with engaging activities like a human matching game and cut-and-paste analysis of the poem “Wake Up” by Randi Whitney. Students explore themes, text features, and write their own stanzas inspired by Robert Frost’s “The Road Less Traveled.” Designed for advanced 5th graders through high school, these activities promote deep literary analysis and creative writing. New collections will be added regularly.
