PDF | 1 page|Grades: 3 - 6

A poster providing a definition and example of a concrete poem (or shape poem).

Print this educational poster in A4 size or larger. Display it in your classroom as a visual reminder of what a concrete poem (or shape poem) is and how to write one.

Concrete poems are written in the shape of the object they describe and are used to show a feeling or to excite the reader. Sometimes, the shape is made up of sentences; other times, it may be filled with descriptive words.

This teaching resource would be a wonderful addition to a lesson or unit on descriptive language or poetry.
