• The teacher will ask the children why the short "story" the teacher read, is called a poem and not a short story?
• The teacher will then explain to the children how words, punctuation, and usages of sentences, and words, for example, rhyming words, and phrases are being used by a poet as the "tools" to write, or create poems.
• The teacher will indicate to the children what the formation of a story in a story book looks.



• The teacher will then show them a poetry book with a written poem, and let the children compare the written works.
• The children will be taught that words in poems could rhyme, lines are called phrases, and words could be used to create a rhythm or a pattern.
• The children will be taught that poems have a name or heading, and the person who writes the poem, is called: a Poet.
• The children will learn to recognize a poem just by the way it is printed on a page.
• The teacher should show different examples of poems, to the children.

On a blue hill,

When the wind stops

You all stand still.

When the wind blows

You walk away slow.

White sheep, white sheep,

Where do you go?
