Lesson Plan Description
Perfect for multilingual learners, these 4 poetry lesson supports oral language development with strategic use of sentence frames and collaborative work. Using specific student engagement protocols, your students will:
- Segment 1: Synthesize a poem to discover key details, analyze word/phrase meanings and find the main idea and write a 3 to 5 sentence summary capturing the main idea of the poem
- Segment 2: Create a “boo”k to analyze words, phrases and expressions within a poem
- Segment 3: Identify author’s craft and key details in the text by extending their “book”
- Segment 4: Analyze more deeply author’s craft and organization of the poem in order to finalize their student created books
These lessons can be taught over the span of a half day or you can use the lessons independently, broken up over several days.
