Poetic Voices: A Poetry Unit Plan for English 10

Grade: 10

Rationale:

Poetry is fun and enjoyable to both read and write. However, I must admit that I hated it when I was in high school. Mainly, I didn’t like the way that it was taught. What I tried to do with this unit is to make the lessons interesting and to add a couple of fun lessons, as well. Further, I have an even amount of both reading and writing in this unit, because in my opinion, both are equally important. Hopefully, the students will not leave this unit with the same thoughts that I had about poetry.
