Display and Discuss Poetry Terms with a Word Wall
Poetry is tough to teach! And a major point that students struggle with is knowing what different terms mean when reading and writing poetry. We’ve created a purposeful and highly useful word wall to help you display key poetic terms for daily discussion and reference.
Knowing the terms related to poetry can be helpful for several reasons. It can help students understand and analyze poems better, as they will have a shared vocabulary to discuss and describe the elements of poetry. Knowing the terms can also help them to write poems more effectively, as they can use the terms to describe and shape the elements of their own work. In addition, knowing the terms can help them to appreciate and understand poetry more fully, as they will have a greater understanding of the techniques and craft that go into writing poems.
Poetry Terms Included in This Word Wall
Some of the words included in this poetry word wall are: poem, imagination, expression, structure, form, fixed verse, rhythm, meter, stressed syllables, sound devices, repetition, alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, and many more!
This word wall is a great way to start a unit of study surrounding poetry. We recommend you print and display these poetry word wall cards in your classroom during your unit and review them daily with short, 5-10 minute vocabulary games.
