10 Minute Poetry Mini Lessons - Makes Poetry Easy for Students and the Teacher!

10 Minute Poetry Mini Lessons

Makes Poetry Easy for Students and the Teacher!

Don't second guess teaching poetry anymore! These quick, easy to follow mini lessons will expose your students to a wide variety of poems, introduce and review literary elements, and encourage students to write their own poetry! And the lessons only take about 10 minutes a day.



The 24 included poems will give you enough poems for 1 a day for a poetry month or unit focus, or there's plenty here to get you through your school year (some of the extra activities for the poems can extend to a 2 day lesson). It's perfect! 

           

Keep printing simple - each poem and student analysis/activity is on a single page. You only need one page a day for students. No need to fumble with multiple pages of copying. Teacher directions are on half page cards in a simple to follow format. Easy-peasy!

Stop in at The Owl Spot to get your 10 Minute Poetry Mini Lessons and get started teaching poetry with confidence!

The Owl Spot's Cyber Monday (and Tuesday) SALE!





Yep, that's right! The Owl Spot is on SALE for Cyber Monday and Tuesday.   If you're like me, you're sitting on your couch, DREADING going back to school tomorrow. Thanksgiving break was way too short, and Winter Break seems too far away.

I have the solution for you, though. I just finished a new Christmas product that I'm quite sure will help you get through these next couple weeks, all while keeping your students occupied and engaged while still learning.

(drum role....) CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS READING PASSAGES AND ACTIVITIES
Click the image link for a preview...


I loved researching about these fun holiday traditions (hanging stockings around the fireplace, sending Christmas cards, finding the "Christmas Pickle"). I know your students (and mine) will love reading about them, too.  

Here's my SPECIAL gift to you... if you purchase my new Christmas Traditions during the Cyber Sale (reg. $5 - take 25% off), you can receive a new game (that's not even in my store yet) called Grammar Races for FREE! 

Just email me your name, email address, and your order number. I will email you the game as soon as I'm able to finish it.  I'll have a primary version and an intermediate grades version (you'll have to let me know which one you want).  This game will be available in my store after the New Year.

Sending me your email will also give you access to 10 Free ELA and MATH Games to use in your classroom.  All of these products will make these last weeks until Winter break bearable!

Here's a few other newer products that would be a great snag during the Cyber Sale...
