When I taught third grade I always did a month long poetry unit. I started with acrostics. I shared some examples, we did a few together and then they wrote their own (with their name). Finally, they typed them and we saved them for a poetry book. We did 5 different types of poetry in this fashion. Then I had each child choose their favorite poem to put in a class anthology. We copied this and bound it for each child. I also took all the poems from the kids and each of them recieved their final copies in a spiral bound book. For the culminating activity, I invited the parents and the kids got up on stage one at a time and read one of their original poems. We called it the poetry cafe. We set out cookies and punch for after and had the kids share their poetry books with their parents while munching on cookies etc. It is a lot of fun. Good luck. Amy
