We used the diamante to work on language and writing. It then led to students writing precious poems for Mother's Day. Love the simplicity of the trifold and the multiple steps, as poetry can often be a challenge for kids.

This resource was the perfect way to introduce a variety of poems during our poetry unit. The directions were easy to follow and allowed my students to be successful when writing their own poems. Thank you!

Excellent way to present structured poems. My students enjoyed the process. I even used some with adults as ice breakers in meetings! Thank you
