About This Lesson
This unit introduces and relates poetry to music and covers four forms of poetry: haiku, ode, sonnet, and echo verse; it also introduces a type of poetry that enables them to celebrate themselves (the "Where I am From" poem). After the teacher presents each type of poetry, the student is to write a sample of that type of poetry. I did this with my students and they created some really great work for me!
