- We reviewed Imperative (Command) Sentences & the students completed pages 17-18 in the grammar workbook.
- The students then gave their group presentations about the poems on poetry.
- I then provided the definitions for some of the poetry terms. The ones specifically connected to the Found Poem.
- I introduced the Found Poem Assignment. See the attached assignment packet. The Found Poem is due on Friday February 11.
- I passed out the new poetry packet: Music as Poetry.
- I explained part of the homework assignment: complete the analysis chart (on pages 5-6) about one of the 6 poems (on pages 1-2).
- I then played the song, "I Am Not My Hair" by India.Arie. The students followed along with the lyrics in their packet. At the end of the song, I asked them to give their immediate reaction and explain the overall message or meaning of the poem.
- We ended the period by starting to work on a Metaphors and Similes Poem (packet page 15)
- Homework: Poem Analysis (packet pages 1-2, 5-6), Finish the Metaphors & Simile Poem, (packet page 15), Work on the Found Poem, think about the group to serve/research for the entire semester.
