The Patterns in Poetry: A Vocabulary-building Activity Using Poems

This activity teaches something about poetry and reading while focusing mainly on words and vocabulary building. You'll be taking a poem and substituting synonyms to see how the meaning and pattern stay the same even as the words change.


Recommended Time: 

Variable, based on the length of the selected poem. This activity works well when spread out over several sessions, spending about 10 minutes each day on just a few lines.

Goals: 
    • To build vocabulary, especially synonyms
    • To reinforce sentence patterns and construction
    • To introduce poetry and poetic patterns in a casual way.
