Limerick Poetry Anchor Chart

Engagement strategies for elementary school students are important to their academic success. Teaching limericks, which are short, funny poems, is a great way to grab their interest and get them excited about reading limericks and writing their own original poetry. Like other poetry, limericks have their own standards and rhyme scheme. Print this anchor chart and display it in your classroom or place the anchor chart in the center of student desks to give them a visual resource. Students can review how to write a limerick and look at a model limerick from a famous poet. Check out all of our limerick poem examples and resources.
