POETRY STUDENT HANDBOOK

Use this poetry booklet with the most important information that students should know when studying poetry. During the unit when students inevitably begin asking you questions like, "What is onomatopoeia again?" or "What is a four lined stanza called?", you can simply direct them to their handbook for the answer! 

All you need to do is print, use double sided photocopying, fold and you have a ready-made-booklet! It looks great in color or black and white!
