The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Reading Poetry:
Overview In this experience, students explore the essential traits of poetry, focusing on figurative language. Next, they explain examples of figurative language. Finally, they choose subjects and write very brief poems using figurative language. The Student Pack contains the full text of the poems quoted from in Scene 2. You may have students read and discuss them at any point. Objectives Duration
Have you ever read any poetry? Even if your answer is “no,” you probably have an idea of what a poem is. In this experience, you will learn how poets use words to create images and express themselves.
Objectives
What do you think of when you hear the word poetry? Write words and phrases that describe what you think poetry is. To list more than one, separate your ideas with a comma, like this: dance, drama
Discuss responses to get a sense of what students already know about poetry and what their prejudices might be. Have them compare poetry and prose, noting what they know about the differences.
