Be sure to celebrate National Poetry Month in your foreign language classes this April. Play with Magnetic Poetry, read French and Spanish poetry, and create your own. Read this article to discover simple poem formats that are just right for beginners.
At Foreign Language House, we have downloads to help learners create their own simple bio-poems:
Write a French Bio-Poem
Write a Spanish Bio-Poem
(BTW . . . both of these downloads were completely free to our newsletter subscribers. If you do not already receive the Foreign Language House enewsletter, sign up today!)
Please comment with your favorite foreign language poet or poem. Which poets are perfect for novice-level learners, especially children? For French learners, I like the lyric fables of LaFontaine and poetry by Paul Verlaine. Traditional comptines are always a hit, too!
Happy Poetry Month
