Two weeks worth of Poetry Lessons - 18 different styles to explore

I have put together a PowerPoint of what our students will be doing in writing for the next fortnight to explore poetry.  This presentation contains explanations and examples of each of the 18 major styles of poetry and also Poetry assessment rubric for your students to use to assist them in writing their own poetry.  You can either download the entire presentation or just use the slideshare presentation below.  Enjoy

Rhyme like Eminem with write rhymes

Pretty cool little poetry tool for kids that is dead easy to use.  Just type in a word and hold down the alt key and the 'Rhymanator" will find some for you.  You can find it here.
