If you're ready to supercharge your student's poetry efforts, use this lightning bolt graphic to get your students to write their own original poetry. Using the shape of a lightning bolt, students can write about topics that excite them, the weather, or anything else that they might like to write about. Encouraging students to write according to the shape will encourage them to think creatively and to adjust their wording and sentence and line lengths to match the guidelines for writing a concrete poem.
