If a student can successfully produce six different types of poetry than the lesson will be a success. Since this is a sort of self taught activity, some students will choose the safe route while others will try out their creative side. Just as is the case for all creative writing, some students may really excel while others fall flat. As long as the students do their best and you can tell that they have tried on each poem, it is important to reward them for their achievement.

The WebQuest model is best suited for learners who can navigate the Web on their own and can read the kinds of material commonly found on the Web. We can stretch the format to reach primary-aged learners, developmental English Language Learners and special populations by creating a facilitated WebQuest, one that requires an adult or older peer to drive things.

Use this page to create a script for that facilitator. The facilitator would print this page out and use it to guide their progress through the WebQuest.

This page will include step by step directions to the facilitator, including:

•Each page in the process is pretty self explanatory.•Each page has at least one “hyperlink” that is highlighted in teal. These links are intended to be tools for both the teacher and the students for exploration of the World Wide Web concerning this project.•You might have some confusion with your students concerning the basics of poetry to begin. Perhaps a small lesson before this projects introduction will be in order. It all depends on the students.•The process will take longer at the points where students have to compile their favorite poets and explain why. It will also take a longer time for the students to compile their own works.•Make sure your students are separating themselves from technology when their own works are being compiled. You want your students to use their own creativity at that point in the process.

This is a fantastic lesson for students who are just starting out with their exploration into the world of poetry. It gives them a good run down of many different poetic forms and the influential poets who made each method of poetry famous. If a student has acquired prior knowledge about poetry from another class, this lesson also acts as a follow up or extensive study of particular poets and their poetry. It is also allows for many different types of learning styles. This lesson reaches the research based learners as well as the creative learners who respond best to hands-on learning.
