Item description

Do your students like to write songs? If you’re studying ballads, would they want to write their own?

This poetry-writing exercise for writing a ballad gives students all the structure they need for writing a story and setting it to verse. Students will have fun writing rhyming poems and sharing with their classmates. Because everything is done for you, this no-prep print or digital resource is a lesson you can use TODAY! This also works well as an emergency substitute lesson plan and should take students 90 minutes (minimum) to complete.

This lesson includes
⭐ an assignment sheet with a detailed description of the process,
⭐ a writing form sheet to help students follow the format of a ballad,
⭐ a product-specific rubric to assess the student-written poem, and
⭐ examples (professional & student-written) to help students get started.

This is a rigorous poetry-writing activity for students and can easily integrated into a novel study or any poetry unit.

I have used this in conjunction with teaching Medieval and Modern Ballads in British poetry and as an option for a creative writing class. Writing your own ballad is helpful for assisting students as they write their own creations.
