About this worksheet
A concrete poem, or shape poem, arranges its words to form a picture of its subject – a poem about a tree can be shaped like a tree. This worksheet teaches how the shape and the words work together and guides students to plan a concrete poem of their own.
The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box explains a concrete poem with labeled examples of choosing a subject, shape, and words. Section A has eight questions about the form. Section B on page 2 has four planning tasks, including choosing a subject and sketching its shape.
