Objective:  I can analyze how authors’ choices concerning how to structure their poetry contribute to their overall structure and meaning as well as aesthetic impact (RL11-12.5).
Agenda:

• Entry Task: Look at our class brainstorm of historical figures.  How many women are represented? Answer in your notebook: Who is a woman that you look up to?  Why?
  
• Follow along to “Phenomenal Woman” read by the poet, Maya Angelou
  
  • Share what you notice about the structure and word choice in the poem
    
    • See the example poem poster
      
  • Review the rubric for the Phenomenal Woman project option
    
  • If you choose this option, you can choose from the brainstorm, or you can use the list attached to the poem template based off Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls to help you select a woman of interest to you
    

Exit Task:  Review the list, select one of interest, and answer whether or not you would like to create a Phenomenal Woman poem/poster following this rubric; write the woman’s name you selected, and one fun-fact you learned about her in your notebook.
