POETRY PATTERNS

By Jesse Hise. Now revised, this complete poetry writing program delivers step-by-step guidance and 19 innovative patterns (with sample poems) to make composing poetry both creative and enjoyable. Pattern sections, such as “Wonderings,” “Anyone Can Write a Poem,” and “People in Your Past” are cross-referenced with reproducible handouts and teaching suggestions on poetic terms, traditional patterns, structure, and editing and sharing work. Designed primarily for grades 7–12, but easily adapted to differing ability levels and lower grades. Teacher resource. Illustrated. 8½” x 11″. Interact. 248 pages. Revised edition. ©1995.
