In Class:Journal-- Write a series of couplets responding to the image at right.
couplet: two lines of poetry similar in length and meter, often rhyming.
Screened and discussed "Contingency Plan" by Omar Holmon. More than anything else at Friday's Poetry Jam, you should be genuine, confident, and proud to share your hard work with the school.
In pairs, students rehearsed their pieces for Poetry Jam. Then, using the microphone, each student performed for the class.
Independently, each student made a stress ball; it is much better to release nervous energy in a subtle, non-distracting way if at all possible.
Finally, each student chose a quote from a selected set from Dance First, Think Later. Using this as a jumping-off point, each student free-wrote for 7 minutes.
Exit ticket: What are your thoughts, concerns, and hopes for Poetry Jam?
Homework:
Practice, practice, practice!
Poem-a-Week #6 due on Monday.
