Item description
Ever wanted to write a villanelle? This step-by-step guide makes the process easy! By writing their own villanelle, students gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the form. This poetry-writing exercise can be thought-provoking and powerful for students.
This lesson includes
an assignment sheet with a detailed description of the form,
an structured form formatted for writing a villanelle
a product-specific rubric to assess the student-written poem, and
examples (professional) 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 Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gently into That Good Night” and as an option for a creative writing class. Writing your own villanelle is helpful for assisting students as they write their own creations.
