Narrative Poetry

A narrative poem should include:

- At least one character or multiple characters.
- Setting.
- Conflict.
- Plot/storyline. 

It is also important to remember that a narrative poem does not have to rhyme, it just has to tell a story.  This is a great low pressure way to introduce poetry to students.

You may also want to introduce students to a few common poetic conventions, for example:

- Simile
- Metaphor
- Personification
- Repetition

Welcome!

Hello class,

Through this blog I will be sharing different resources for teachers, from lesson plans to activities and links to other websites that I have found to be useful.
