Concrete Poem Star Shape Template

Concrete poems are a great way to get students to think about adjusting sentence length and line length as they are writing poetry. By using this star-shaped graphic organizer for concrete poetry, your students will need to think critically and creatively about how to adjust sentence and line lengths to make their poems make the shape of a star. They will also have to plan to write their poem so that the shape in some way connects with the content and theme. This is a great challenge for advanced writers, but also offers a wonderful access point for novice poets. Enjoy! This is an exciting way to get them engaged in writing and in poetry.
