Limericks

Limericks - 4th Grade / 5th Grade This Elementary School teaching resource explores limericks in a fun and engaging way. To begin with, it provides examples of limericks and explains the 'rules' of limericks. It then provides a task that asks children to explore the examples and discuss the poems regarding structure and language. The second half of the lesson explains how to write a limerick. Children are given a scaffolded approach and an example to help them construct a class and then an individual limerick. The resource is differentiated using 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze' activities to help all children achieve.
