& Literature
A Creative Writing Lesson Plan

This literature unit study introduces your students to the zany rhymes made famous by Edward Lear in the late 1800s. The lessons use limericks to introduce a number of basic poetic devices. Understanding and using these devices can improve the student’s general and creative writing. They also serve as models for teaching the disciplined, systematic art of limerick and poetry writing. Adaptable for students in kindergarten through college levels, highly recommended for grades five through eight.

While completing this unit-study your students will:

become familiar with the work of Edward Lear;
