Description
This imagery mini lesson is part of my Building Poetry Pros unit recently listed. It includes anchor charts for imagery and sensory words, a graphic organizer for students to use with teacher selected poetry, and a sensory words sort for teachers to use for guided practice, as a center for independent practice, or for partner work.

I Like the addition of a sensory sort for students. Not sure about this sentence… “Howls, screeches, and hisses preceded the cat fat that happened last night.” Was “fat” suppose to be “fight?”
Overall, great idea for getting students to really experience poetry.
