Today we will read for ten minutes. We will then watch a sample 2 voice poem and discuss the qualities of the poem. We will watch it again with a writer's eye then I will hand out the assignment and prewriting worksheets to begin work on the poem that will be due by the end of the day on Friday. If students are leaving early, they should write the whole poem (both voices) on their own, if students are here, they may work with a partner. The prewriting worksheets will be due by the end of the period tomorrow and the final poem is due at the end of the period Friday. We will perform on Monday.
Here is a link to a "how to" webpage if you want more ideas.
Here is a 2 voice poem written out so you can check out the formatting go to page 2 of the document.
HW: work on prewriting questions.
Logs will be collected Monday 4/6 150 minutes.
If you were absent be sure to:
Watch the 2 voice poem above, consider what a two voice poem does, who is the speaker? when do they speak, when do they speak together, what is its purpose? etc...
look over and begin the prewriting worksheet.
