Do you want your students to experience a variety of poetry in a short time? This is a great idea. The teacher needs a lot of children poetry books as a resource in the classroom. The students choose a book and read through the poetry. Once they find a poem they like, they fill out the I LOVE POETRY sheet. I usually started this after standardized testing. Once students have completed a couple of sheets and understand how to handle the assignment, I let them choose to do this project during free time-center. You may put the first pages completed in a CLASS BOOK, so everyone can see what the other students are doing and what poems were chosen. It's amazing how quickly, the students find a poet they like. This also shows the teacher, students that are "into" poetry. It's a lot of fun and an easy project to bring into your classroom. At the end of the year, have your students make a cover and insert their favorite poems for that year. This could be a GIFT PROJECT for MOTHER'S DAY if you wished.
