Want to learn a variety easy and fun poetry forms in one week? Each day of 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆, the learners will hear and see the poem being taught that day. The teacher will then break down the format of the poem explaining in more detail the types of words or ideas used in the lines and stanzas. After an engaging interactive slideshow, the learners will then practice together to build a poem. Finally, each learner will write their own poem. The teacher will always be there for guidance as needed. If time permits, there will be time for sharing their poems with the class if a learner chooses to do so. Students will need to have 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 understanding of the following: * nouns * verbs * adjectives * synonyms * antonyms and also... * syllabication. A variety of poetry forms will be taught within this week. Some possibilities are: (´◡`) Haiku (´◡`) Simple/Complex Poem (´◡`) Cinquain (´◡`) Diamante (´◡`) Color Poem ***Please note: I am sensitive to learners' needs; therefore, the types of poetry offered will likely change from class to class depending on the attributes and skills of the learners.
Learning Goals
As the week ends, the learners will have had experience reading and writing the presented poetry forms.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I'm really looking forward to meeting your learner.
While I hold a bachelor's degree in education, a master's degree in Ed-Tech Leadership, and a few more certifications, my 31 years in education speak more to my love of learning, my love for children and young adults, and my love of the magic of teaching.
I teach a variety of English language arts classes, particularly for ages 12-18+ . Teaching English language arts the last 17 years of my teaching career has kept me relevant to the newest methodologies and pedagogy in this content area. I have several published articles in state and local journals for the teaching of English language arts, including authoring a chapter in a book published by NCTE.
My initial background as an elementary educator paved the way for me to be unique in my teaching style with middle school and high school students. Rather than focusing only on the content, I strongly believe in engaging the heart before engaging the mind. Within this philosophy comes a firm belief in allowing students voice and choice in their learning. I see myself as the "Head Learner" guiding students as we all learn.
I love to collect words, particularly those that are whimsical. When I'm not collecting words, you might find me capturing photos of West Texas sunrises and sunsets. I live on a small ranch with three dogs: Max, the Great Pyrenees; Bella, the German Shepherd; and, last but, well, she is the least, Heidi, our mini-dachshund. We also have two cats: Siam and Paw Prince. Our menagerie also includes chickens and horses!
I'm delighted to meet the learner(s) in your family!Reviews
