Poetry Continued (with a freebie)

After my last poetry post, I received a couple of questions that I wanted to answer :) 

 First, I write (or type and glue) my poems onto chart paper. 

I purchase the chart paper at a local teacher store, but you can also find it here on Amazon.

Then, I tape the poems to a hanger. The poem we are using for the week gets hung in the front of the classroom on the whiteboard. Poems that I have already used are hung on hooks as seen in the image below.

 I keep about 10 poems out at a time. On Fridays, the students will get to go to the poetry center. They will glue and illustrate their new poems in their poetry notebook. 

Then, if they finish before their center is over, they can use pointers and microphones to practice reading their old poems.

 Here are the poems that my class uses:
