Planning some poetry-writing with your class? They’ll all love it once they get going, but nervous and hesitant young writers may need a stepping stone to get started, like a fun gap-fill solution:
They’ll love slotting in their own word ideas, especially with your heaped spoonful of encouragement! The sheer action of putting pen to paper and seeing their writing there, contributing to the poem, will fire them up, as well as the ideas building in their heads and the creative instinct lighting up!
Enjoy the sight of seeing reluctant writers turn into enthusiastic ones!
