Exploring Types of Poetry for 3rd Graders

The video tutorial reviews four types of poetry: narrative, humorous, lyrical, and free verse. Narrative poems tell a story with elements like characters and plot. Humorous poems are silly and aim to make readers laugh. Lyrical poems are akin to songs, using rhythm and repetition to convey feelings. Free verse poems lack a specific structure or rhyme scheme, focusing on the poet's expression. Examples are provided for each type to aid understanding.
