In Class:Journal-- Using a household item as a vehicle for a metaphor, describe a struggle you've faced. Ex.: My father is an off-balance washing machine, bumping loudly in the basement despite how much I've tried to fix him.
Screened and discussed "Friend Zone" by Dylan Garity.
Using "always there are the children" by Nikki Giovanni, "The Border" by José Hernández Díaz, and "Superhero" by Flobots, we examined the process of creating social justice poetry by adapting personal experience to create a broad, social message.
Then, each student wrote an "If I could change..." poem, similar in style to Flobots' "Superhero."
With remaining class time, students worked on their final portfolios by compiling Poem-a-Weeks, Poetic Devices, and documents.
Exit ticket: Give an example of a sentence for which you would use upward inflection.
