Little Roots Poetry Workshop | Growing Learners Creative Language Arts Unit

Little Roots Poetry Workshop | Growing Learners Creative Language Arts Unit | Ages 10–14

Little Roots is growing right alongside your learners. 🌿✍️

The Little Roots Poetry Workshop is an 18-page creative language arts unit designed specifically for our Growing Learners, ages 10–14.

This isn't simply a collection of poetry worksheets. Learners begin by discovering how poets intentionally use words, sound, imagery, figurative language, tone, structure and line breaks—and then put those techniques into practice in their own writing.

Throughout the workshop, learners will explore:

📖 How to read and analyze poetry closely

🎵 Sound, rhythm & poetic devices

✨ Figurative language & imagery

🎭 Tone & mood

📝 Form, structure & intentional line breaks

🌿 Free verse

🍃 Haiku

🌊 Cinquain

🔤 Acrostic & concrete poetry

📖 Narrative poetry

🌲 Nature poetry & field observation

✂️ Found poetry

✍️ Planning and drafting

🔎 Revision & thoughtful peer feedback

📚 Creating a final poetry collection

The unit finishes with learners revising and presenting their own poetry collection and writing a Poet's Statement reflecting on their creative choices.
