The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has assembled a virtual bounty of poetry-related lesson plans on its well-organized website. Here readers will find 20 different lessons plans for students between the ages of six and 18. For example, A Bear of a Poem: Composing and Performing Found Poetry, was developed for students in kindergarten through 2nd grade, and provides teachers with an overview, featured resources, information on standards, resources and preparation, and an instructional plan, among other helpful structures. Other resources include Weaving the Threads: Integrating Poetry Annotation and Web Technology, a lesson plan for middle schoolers, and Discovering Poetic Form and Structure Using Concrete Poems, which is targeted to high school students.
