[Kelly Whelchel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read these various poems during a poetry unit. This children can read the poems and then the students can make their own poems. After the have perfected their poems, the students can have a "coffee house" poem day. The students will go on a "stage" and read their poems to the class.
