Answer 1

Poem writing is a fantastic opportunity for kids to communicate what they've learnt in class or through independent study. What's great about poetry is that it can breathe life into facts that would otherwise be dull and dead! I recall giving fourth-graders the task of writing poetry about mathematical operations, as well as writing couplets about the most important names, places, events, and dates in the American Revolution as a class. These tasks are well-received by students! So, after looking at some of the examples below, make your own lessons to encourage students to compose informative poems in class.

Hena Khan educates young readers about Islam by discussing its colors and traditions in easy rhymes in her book "Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors." Each poem serves as a definition, with the words provided in further detail towards the end of the book. The magnificent bright and intricate images by Mehrdokht Amini make this book a treasure in and of itself, great for reading in groups or sharing on a parent's lap.
