A Penny For Your Thoughts Donald R Underwood

This workbook was created for my language arts students and has been used successfully with fourth through seventh grade classes. My intentions were to provide a fun way to stir the imagination and creativity of my students and to open the door to the wonderful world of poetry. It contains instructions for writing Couplets, Haikus, Cinquains, Acrostics, Alliterations, Limericks, Free Verse, and ABCB form. Sample poems for each style are included along with detailed instructions for creating that style and illustrations that the students may color. There is a templet page for each style that the students can use for writing their own poems, and an index of rhyming words at the back of the book. As the author, I give all public, private, and homeschool teachers who purchase this workbook permission to copy all or any parts of it for use with their own students.
