All About Me Poems:

Writing Biography Poems Inside Fun Pencil Shaped Templates

This All About Me poetry set contains all of the teaching resources that you will need for your students to write a biography poem about themselves for a fun creative writing activity.

There are a lot of different versions of biographical poems that teachers have developed over the years. I never found one that used fun writing templates, so I created my own version of this popular All About Me poetry activity.

These All About Me Poems contain first draft printable worksheets that will assist and guide your students in writing the 9 lines of this biography poem.

For the final draft of these biographical poems, students write the 9 lines of their poems inside 9 pencil templates, with each pencil increasing in width. After your students have colored their pencil templates, you will have a dynamic and colorful poetry display to post on your classroom bulletin board.

This pencil shaped poetry set contains three templates that assemble into 9 horizontal pencils. The finished All About Me Poems measures 10 inches in width and 15 inches in height.

These finished projects will make a colorful bulletin board display of your students' work. Everything that you need to complete these projects is included in this set of poetry lesson plans. All that you will need is scissors, glue, tape, and coloring pencils.

There are 9 lines of poetry for this biography poem assignment.

1. Your first name

Below are examples of the first draft writing worksheets. Students should proofread and edit their first drafts before they begin writing on their final draft pencil templates.

After students have edited their first drafts, you should give them their final draft poetry templates. Students can color their pencil templates after they have finished writing their poems.
