Exploring Figurative Language & Poetry Unit!

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Exploring-Figurative-Language-Poetry-Unit-1269228 

This is a great unit that gets your learners' creative writing flowing!  One of the most important parts of learning poetry is understanding figurative language, so this unit truly focuses on how language in poetry is used.  Another way that the unit helps learners with thinking creatively is using a fun doodle warm up activity.
Students start with a small, obscure doodle, and they will turn it into whatever they see!  This was a loved activity!  Check out the fun doodles my littles made below:

Finally, this awesome unit includes great anchor charts for all the figurative language vocabulary.
This unit is a wonderful way to get your students excited about poetry!  Get yours by clicking the link below:

Writing Center

This is a great way to display different types of print for students to view in the writing center.  I love a print-rich environment that emerges young learners.  To create this piece you can make your own samples or you can pull ones straight from recipe books, personal grocery lists, poetry books, used post cards, etc.  Make sure the print samples are at the students eye level for easy viewing.
