Teacher Introduction
Poetry is an easy and exciting way to teach creative writing with students of any age group or ability. Although the students using this Web Quest are only producing three differnt types of poems, there are a vast number of other types of poems that can be incorporated into this Web Quest. The first link, Poetry for Kids is an excellent resourse for students and teachers alike. So, write some poetry along with your students. You'll enjoy creating your own poetry book-it's fun and it's easy!
