Poetry Forms Sub Plan, Grades 6-8: Form Match-Up (No Prep)

Six short poems, six forms. A baby watches one red sock go around and around in "Saturday Laundromat." A cat naps in the sink in "Sink Cat." Students read all six poems on a two-page Poem Page, then use a Form Features table of eight forms to match each poem to its form: they count its lines, letter its rhymes and name the form.
