Poetry Close Reading Packets for Grade 3, 4, 5 & 6 - Bonus Vocabulary Posters

Are you looking for some print-and-go poetry activities to use in your close reading lessons? This resource includes 7 poetry packets that are fun and easy to use! All you need to do is print back to back, fold the paper in half, and you have yourself a poetry lesson with higher-level questions. Each packet includes the poem (all of which are in the public domain), as well as 5 questions asking students to analyze the poem. You’ll also receive 8 vocabulary posters/anchor charts to help students deepen their understanding of poetry!

These are great to use whole class, or to use in centers, or even in guided reading groups. I tried to include poems here that were on varied levels, and that most students could pull apart and understand on a deeper level from third grade and higher.
