Let’s Take a Walk

Poets see the world in a special way -- everyone walks down this street, but as a poet, you see that street a little differently. When you write your observations in a poem readers can see how you see the street, and feel how you feel. In this lesson, students create a list poem from observations around their community.
What Your Students Will Learn

Your students will learn the importance of observation and first-hand experience when writing. Students will learn how to use.

What Your Students Will Produce

Your students will create list poems as: small groups, a class, and individually, using their observations.

What You Will Need

  • Pencils
  • Paper
  • Clip boards (enough for students to have one in each group of three)
  • Chart paper
  • Markers
