Over the summer, I attended a workshop on teaching writing, the Writer's Institute! I shamelessly stole many great writing lessons and mentor texts for writers of all ages. One of them was based on using the children's book, "The Important Book," as a mentor text for poetry.
Both 9th and 11th graders did a tremendous job analyzing the structure of the text and brainstorming things that were "important" to them.
Here are links to each period's "Important" poems!
