Subject Competency (ELA):
As an introduction, I will take the time to get a sense of where the students
stand with poetry. What they know and if they have read/created poetry before.
To continue, I will show the students the various elements of blackout poetry
and what is required in order to make their own piece. We will explore
examples of blackout poetry, both in terms of the poetry itself and the design.
In order to get students more comfortable with the concept, we will be creating
a class blackout poem. This will allow the students to see the process of
creating a blackout poem and will give them a chance to practice before going
off in their teams to work on their own poems.
This portion of the lesson will be allotted for the students to create their
blackout poems. Before the students go off to work on their own, I will explain
the materials required and I will review the steps they need to follow.
During this time, students will be working in pairs to create their own blackout
poems.
As a conclusion, we will review the approaches the students took. They will be
given the time to explain their process. If time permits, we can have the
students read out their poems.
Assessment Criteria:
The student(s):
- Uses language/talk as a means of exploring, expressing and developing
thoughts.
- Develops, through trial and error strategies for working collaboratively
with peers
- Develops language strategies to support communication in collaborative
tasks
- Selects effective and appropriate strategies for problem solving in a
specific context
- Self-evaluate his/her language development
Assessment Tools:
DIFFERENTIATION Should students finish their work early they will be asked to work in their
& descriptive journals.
ADAPTATIONS:
In terms of adaptations, students who have difficulties can be given story
pieces that are for a lower grade level. The words will be easier for them to
grasp and work with in order to create a poem with meaning. Similarly,
students who work at a higher level or quicker pace can be give a story piece
that is more difficult.
PROFESSIONAL Competency 1 – To act as a professional inheritor, critic, and interpreter of
COMPETENCIES knowledge or culture when teaching students
- Through the introductory portion of the lesson, I will be providing the
ADDRESSED:
students with the tools to create their poems. Students will transfer the
knowledge they have about poetry and the information gathered from
the introduction. The story pieces chosen were from Harry Potter novels
as I noticed that many of the students enjoy the series. I figured it would
be nice to connect the two.
