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 authors? Who is one author you admire? Why?
  
• Follow along to “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost
  
  • Share what you notice about the structure and word choice in the poem
    
• Follow along to “In Every Season” from Out of Wonder
  
  • Share what you notice about this poem written about Robert Frost--how does it use similar structure and word choice as “The Road Not Taken”?
    
  • Review the rubric for the Poet Magazine project option and see example magazine
    
    • In groups, peruse copies from Out of Wonder 
      
      • Analyze how the poem written about the author compares with the poem they wrote.  Use your poetic device sheet to annotate.  
        
• Exit Task:  In your notebook, answer whether or not you would like to create a poet magazine following this rubric; if so, who would you create it about?  If not, why?
