Kite Poetry Templates: These unique kite shaped templates will have your
students' poetry flying high in the air!
For this poetry lesson, students write a shape poem where each line of the
poem gets shorter in length.
Students cut out the kite templates along the thick black borders, and
then they have unique kite shaped poetry projects. These kite templates will look more realistic if you add string or ribbon and make
a tail for the kites.
These kite poetry projects will make a colorful bulletin board display in your classroom.
They would also look impressive hung from the ceiling of your classroom.
This set of poetry lesson plans includes:
- first draft writing worksheet
- black and white kite poem template
- 7 different colors of kite templates
- matching 5 page bulletin board display banner
Everything that you need to complete this kite poetry project is included
in this set of teaching resources. All that you will need is scissors, coloring
pencils, and string for the kites.
For creative writing assignments, I believe that it is important for students
to go through the steps of the writing process.
For this reason, my students never begin writing their poems on their final
draft kite poetry templates, instead they write on first draft worksheets.
Next, my students edit and revise the first drafts of their poems on their own, with a partner, or
in individual writing conferences with me.
Below is an example of the first draft worksheet that is included in this
set of poetry teaching resources. The writing lines on this worksheet match the
lines on the final draft kite template.
After students have edited and revised the first drafts of their kite poems,
you should give them their final draft kite templates.
These kite templates have thick borders, so it is easy for the
students to cut out their kite poetry templates themselves.
The kite templates measures 10 inches in length and 7 inches in width.
As I am introducing this poetry project to my students, I like to
begin by sharing my kite poem with my students.
At the front of the classroom, I display an example of what the final
draft kite templates look like. By providing a visual example at the
very beginning of this lesson activity, my students know what their
poetry assignments will look like when they have completed their final drafts.
For final draft poetry assignments, when I give my students fun
templates to write on, I have found that they tend to use their
best effort, and they are more careful to not make careless errors.
I have included a red kite template for you to use as a visual example
to share with your students so that you don't have to spend
time coloring this kite template yourself.
There are 6 other color kite templates in this set:
green, orange, blue, yellow, pink, and purple (see examples below).
Along with the red kite template, you can print out multiple
copies of these 7 colorful kites and give them to your students
to write their poems on instead of the black and white kite template.
If you use the color kite templates with your students,
your finished bulletin board display of your students' kite poems
will be an bright array of rainbow colors.
Your colorful kite bulletin board display
will be sure to capture everyone's attention!
I know that it takes teachers a lot of valuable time to assemble their
bulletin board displays.
Many teachers spend hours of time cutting out
large display letters or making a banner on their own at home on their computers.
This time is valuable and better spent on developing your classroom
curriculum and grading papers, so I have included a matching 5 page
banner for your kite poetry bulletin board display.
You can laminate your banner so that it is durable and you can
use it year after year for bulletin board displays of these kite poems.

Teacher Testimonials
Heidi, I just had to write and let you know that your website has helped me create the most awesome author study of Roald Dahl's books. My students loved completing the big animal shaped projects you designed for The Enormous Crocodile, Esio Trot, and The Giraffe, and the Pelly and Me. For the final project, they had so much fun writing and drawing about the characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory using your Willy Wonka Factory project. Thanks for sharing your scrumdiddlyumptious ideas!

I can honestly say that I have never had such great results from children with a book report as I did using this wanted poster book report activity. I was blown away and the parents who have seen the finished projects were amazed too. Thank you! I will definitely log on again to see your other products and your after sales service is awesome, thanks again. Very much appreciated.

Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.

My students loved your seasonal powerpoint games for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They thought they were playing a game instead of reviewing grammar ;-) I've already purchased all of your other holiday powerpoint lesson plans. Keep making more of these great activities, more POWER to you Heidi!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the new book report templates. I have been anxiously watching for the house book report project to be posted on your site, so I was excited to be able to purchase it today. It is absolutely adorable. I must tell you that I have received so many compliments from other teachers this year about my students' book reports that I have displayed in our school halls. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas....you make my life so much easier as a teacher!

I want to write and tell you that I love the resources that you make and share with us, they have truly been helpful to me and my students. I have been teaching grammar rules in a more exciting way, and I owe it all to you. Your grammar powerpoint lessons have been such a blessing! Thank you very much!

I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor to the left had the computer reports, and my neighbor to the right had the birthday cake reports. Thank you so very much for all of your work!

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!

I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.
Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.

I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.

My students are working on their Charlie and Chocolate Factory projects that I bought on your website. One of my students said how nice the other character wheels were and he said, "Besides this is just fun!" Not bad for a third grade boy!!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful site and the excellent resources that you provide at such reasonable prices. I purchased and used your lesson plans for the The Giving Tree with my students, and it was a blast. Thanks again!

Simply stated, I LOVE YOUR BOOK REPORT SETS!!!!!!! I'm interested in purchasing them ALL!!!! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. My students are so excited about reading this year, and it is all because of your fun projects!
