Description
Middle school kids love to create holiday crafts and gifts for Christmas or other winter holidays. The poem and craft can be used as a gift for any special person. Brainstorm ideas to easily write a poem, then create a beautiful craft project as a gift. Directions/examples included!
Here is what is included:
✅Guided and editable brainstorm page - for kids to gather ideas for their poem
✅Example brainstorm and example poem - so kids know exactly how to write it
✅Stationery - printable, digital, color, and black/white option
✅Tracer - to make the wreath project
✅Picture of example craft - so you and your students know exactly what to do
You will need:
✅Printed copies of the tracer (preferable to trace on cardboard/cardstock)
✅Markers or crayons or colored pencils
✅Glue stick
✅String or ribbon for the wreath
✅Scissors
Note: It is preferable, but not required, to have a picture of the student with their special person for the project. If not, just cut the center of the wreath out.
Here is what I recommend:
⭐The brainstorm is editable. Make any changes first. This way, it is more customized for your specific population.
⭐️This is a printable resource, but you could absolutely attach the poetry portion to your Google Classroom™.
⭐️Have the students spend some time on the 'Brainstorm" slide.
⭐️Review the poetic devices. Encourage students to use some of these to add to the depth of their poems.
⭐️Review the directions for the poem and allow students time to complete their poems.
⭐️Use the directions to complete the project portion. The project will work best on cardboard or oaktag but could be done on regular paper as well. Use a ribbon or string so the wreath can hang.
⭐️An example brainstorm, poem, and completed project are included to guide you and your students.
⭐️I would recommend having kids do this a little at a time rather than in one sitting.
Any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected].
I hope you and your students enjoy this project. Happy holidays to all!
