In this great selection of fun poetry activities, students get to create various poems and learn about alliteration, rhyme, onomatopoeia and much more. The activities in this unit of work are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy and DeBono’s 6 Thinking Hats and there are many explicit learning opportunities, where students can learn the elements of poetry in a fun and non-threatening way.

A huge thank you to Joanne Villis from Inter-Tech Education for submitting this resource.
