Today, students reviewed parts of speech (articles, adjectives, nouns, adverbs, verbs, prepositions, and pronouns) in order to create Mad-Lib-inspired poems in groups.
Students then watched Sarah Kay's Ted Talk
They listened to her two poems for the things that made them effective, including dramatic pauses, and enjambment
As per Sarah's talk, students created a list of 10 things they know to be true.
Students also received a set of poetry terms (in two forms).
For Monday:
- Students must create a poem, using at least one of the topics on their list. It must be 10+ lines long, and include at least one simile or metaphor. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN TEAMS, AND BROUGHT INTO CLASS IN HARD COPY
