Book Extension Activity Lesson Plan - Daniel Finds A Poem
2. Objectives:
1. children are to describe what is a poem using one classroom item
2. share what they find is a poem and reply to a peers finding
4. Teaching:
A. Reading the book
B. Extension activity: Once the book is read I will discuss to children what they liked
about the book. After discussing the book children are to find an object of their choice in the
room and see if they can describe it and create their own poem. I will explain that once they find
their poem they will share with a partner just like the animals in the book shared their idea with
Daniel. The children overall will not have a guideline to follow which will allow more freedom
to write and in other words create a free verse poem.
5. Closure: Once children share their poem amount a peer I would like to close
off the activity by asking if anyone had the same poem? If I get the no one one had
the same poem I will go on to explain that poetry is all around us and we all have
different thoughts and ideas which is why we may not find the same poem with
other people.
