Most poetry lessons stop right when the real thinking should begin.

By ages 9–12, students are ready for more than rhyme and “write what you feel.” They are ready to question meaning, notice point of view, identify figurative language, compare forms, and use poetry as a serious tool for language, analysis, and self-expression.

Teaching Poetry Level 9-12 gives Montessori teachers and homeschool parents a complete printable PDF curriculum for guiding upper elementary students into deeper poetry work.

Students study and practice similes, metaphors, idioms, proverbs, adages, meter, rhyme scheme, personification, hyperbole, clerihews, odes, lyrical poetry, narrative poetry, nonsense verse, triolet, and more. They analyze poems, write original work, revise with peers, connect poetry to science, history, geography, math, and literature, and present their writing with purpose.
