    The document outlines a lesson plan for a 12th grade poetry unit. It involves students being put into groups to write an original poem together, drawing on examples of popular poetry and lessons on poetic conventions like rhyme schemes. Over one to two class periods, the teacher will first lecture on poetry basics and provide examples, then assign mixed-ability groups to collaboratively write a poem applying what they learned, which students will later present and submit for assessment based on included poetic elements. More gifted students within the groups will help their peers who require more support.

    1.

    Title: Group Poetry

    2. Grade Level: 12th

    3. Standards Addressed: These standards are directed towards students being able to

    use the conventions of grammar and structure and style. 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9

    4. General Goals: The students will get together and write one poem as a group of

    about five people or so. They can write the lyrics to address the unique

    characteristics of the group.

    5. Specific Objectives (learning outcomes). There will have to be lecturing for this

    lesson. I will teach the conventions of poetry by showing them written and spoken

    examples or popular poetry. For example, there is a lot of recorded poetry I could

    let them listen to. Also, I would teach them some of the mechanics of poetry,

    showing them Shakespeare and teaching them about rhyme scheme and time.

    From here, I will put them into groups so that they can create their own poetry.

    Utilizing these groups will allow the more gifted students who grasp lectures

    more easily to help the students who may be struggling a little more. They will be

    sharing the learning load.

    6. Duration (try to limit demonstration to 313 class time): one to two class periods.

    7. Materials: poetry CDs, Shakespeare, paper, pencil.

    8. Procedures Step-by-step

    1. lecture about poetry, rhyme scheme and time,

    2. show examples, listen to examples, maybe write one of my own for them

    to scaffold.
    3. assign groups, making sure to keep students of different levels in every

    group.

    9. Assessment based on objectives: The students will read their poems to the class,

    un-assessed. Then they will turn them in to me to see that they have met the

    requirements of rhyme scheme, time etc. the subject mater will not be graded

    unless it is inappropriate.

    10. Adaptations (for students w/learning differences/disabilities). this does not need to

    be adapted because it is designed to have the more advanced students help the less

    advanced.

    11. Extensions (for advanced students): “”

    12. Possible connections to other subjects (math, science, history etc): this lesson

    could apply to history and learning about Shakespeare and his place in history and

    time.
