This Poetry Emulation Graphic Organizer Bundle includes two powerful, scaffolded resources that help students confidently craft their own original ode and extended metaphor poem—even if they’ve never written poetry before.
 
Whether you're using SpringBoard, designing your own curriculum, or just want to see your students create poems they’re actually proud of, this bundle walks them through each step of the process—from brainstorming and figurative language to structure and final presentation.
