Informational poetry weaves facts into poems, as in Douglas Florian’s UnBEElievables, which includes not only poems but also brief factual paragraphs to accompany each selection.

Likewise, Susan Katz’s The President’s Stuck in the Bathtub contains poems with little-known facts about the presidents.

Challenge: Based on the information of a nonfiction text you are currently reading, write an informational poem, haiku,  diamante, list, etc. and share it on the blog.

HAVE FUN!
