Growing Poem Gardens

This session will introduce the poetry technique called enjambment. Students will create found poems, using collages as inspiration.
What Your Students Will Learn

Students will learn about the different ways lines of poems can present on the page and how to find inspiration for new poems in ones that are already written.

What Your Students Will Produce

Your students will create a found poem.

What You Will Need

Before You Start
  • Write the warm-up question on the board: “If you planted a garden, what would you put in it?”
  • Write “enjambment” on one notecard, “propagation” on the second notecard, and “found poetry” on the third.
