Not only will your students be learning and applying knowledge of poetry, literature, and literary devices through daily lesson slides and interactive notebook lessons, but they will also be immediately applying their learning by writing poetry and literature text analysis responses daily and participating in verse novel book clubs.
No more “I don’t know what to write,” or “I don’t understand the assignment” or “We don’t know what to talk about.”
I have created over 50 examples of analysis responses, created book club discussion questions, and every literary device analysis reference tool for students.
Each lesson is broken down step-by-step for teachers, and each example is broken down with explanations for students.
I teach three grades of middle school ELA, so all lesson plans have unique examples for each grade level by using a different mentor text (Sixth- House Arreat by K.A. Holt, Seventh- Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse; and Eighth-The Crossover by Kwame Alexander).
Prep is quick and easy… Just print the student pages, gather the materials listed on the daily pacing and prep guide, display my examples, display the lesson slides, and teach the lesson. You’re ready for middle schoolers who can write quality literature analysis responses and participate in authentic book club discussions.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brandi G. says, “Best unit ever! I never really loved teaching poetry that much, but this unit changed my mind! I love that you can do a great book club option for poetry in verse and I feel it kept my students engaged and motivated to keep reading because we did the book Crossover. Amazing unit! A must have!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nancy M. says, “We have just finished this unit and my students and I both LOVED it! Your unit is so well organized and thorough and really helps develop a solid foundation of poetry vocabulary and strategies while exposing them to multiple novels throughout the unit (their own as well as the mentor text in class). I appreciate the models of each skill for students and the building up of difficulty (for example, examining structure early in the novel and building up to comparing structure in multiple poems). It was a fabulous month of instruction and so thorough–while you could certainly add outside resources or activities, none are needed to offer a thorough, challenging, engaging learning experience! Thank you!!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mallory H. says, “This is an amazing way to get students engaged with poetry and it’s super fun too. Not only did my students love it, but it was so fun to teach and work along with them too. This was also amazing because it was so well prepared that I did not have to do much extra work at all! I loved this and will use it again! “
