So, we set up and did the first "average day" for the Poetry Unit today. It's going to go like this:
1) poems that students need to read for their Task Two Presentations - reading a short poem/showing an MP4 recording to the teacher / etc. The teacher is also going to read poems, too. Here is an example from another class: YooUUuutbe link.
2) We are then going to take up the homework. For tomorrow we were assigned "The Big Saw" by Milton Acorn, for example.
3) We are then going to do "New Poems" for homework.
4) then some time will be given in class to get the homework done, or to work on Task Two or Three Presentations.
5) At the same time, the teacher is going to check in with students, making sure they are on task and checking in for assignments owing and projects yet to be completed.
In any case, here is the poem we did for today:
this is by Milton Acorn
