Objective:  I can define and discuss poetry in my own words and consider my own feelings around reading and writing it through reading from published poets (SL11-12.4).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  Write your own definition of poetry as if it were your job to write for a company that publishes dictionaries.
    • As a class, let’s share at least 10 parts of our definitions by writing them on the board.
    • Dictionary.com definition:
      • the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts.
      • literary work in metrical form; verse.
  • Cut and paste “Observations about Poetry” into your journal (“Poetry”)
    • Underline any quotes you love
    • Revise your definition of poetry as you see fit using some of the new ideas presented
  • Cut and paste “Ars Poetica” by Archibald MacLeish into your journal.  
    • Read the poem—underline any lines you love.
  • Cut and paste “Poetry” by Marianne Moore into your journal.
    • Read the poem—underline any lines you love.
  • Write your own poem on poetry--any style, any form, any devices!
    • If you use any lines from today’s poems or “Observations about Poetry”, put them in quotation marks to show they are not your own.
  • Exit Task:  Share your poem with a partner. Discuss whether or not you think it meets your own definition of poetry. Why or why not?
