Objective:  I can use precise words and phrases, telling details, and sensory language to convey a vivid picture of the experience of listening to favorite songs (W.11-12.3.D).
Agenda:

• Entry Task: Get out your anthology and be ready to write on the blank page you left yesterday
  
• Copy the definition for Found Poetry:  
  
  • Found Poetry is made up of all words and lines that are found by the poet, (re)arranged to create the poetic form, but variations can be created with part found/part written pieces as well.  Considered the Pop Art of poetry, it can be visual or written.
    
  • Read the example of a song title found poem “Dave” by S.M.(M).L.
    
• Using our class list on the board or your list of favorite songs (or you may access your songs on your device), write your own found poem using song titles
  
• Notice that the titles of the songs are italicized in the Dave poem; you should underline your titles as you write.  
  
  • Try to use at least 15 song titles in your draft
    
  • Try to incorporate at least 3 different devices in your writing like imagery, rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, simile, symbol etc.  
    
• Title your found poem so readers know either who the artist is that the songs came from, or if they are multiple artists, it could simply be “Favorite Music” or something along those lines
  
• Exit Task: Leave your anthology open to your song title poem on your desk. Then, move across the room and read someone else’s song title poem.  Write them one piece of positive feedback addressing a device they used in their writing--things to look for imagery, rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, simile, symbol, etc.  and sign your name.
