Poetry doesn’t have to send your students into panic mode.
You know the look — the one they give you when you say the word poetry. Eyes wide. Panic setting in. Suddenly everyone forgets what figurative language even means.
That’s where this Poetry Terms Reference Booklet comes in.
Yes, I NEED the Free Poetry Reference Pages.
It’s a done-for-you classroom tool that helps students:
✔️ Understand key poetry terms and figurative language with clear examples.
✔️ Learn to analyze tone, mood, rhyme, and structure like real readers—not guessers.
✔️ Use mentor text examples they actually recognize (Holes, Hatchet, Diary of a Wimpy Kid).
✔️ Reference definitions quickly during poetry reading or writing activities.
✔️ Build confidence and independence in your poetry units—all year long.
Make poetry something your students actually get (and maybe even enjoy).
