Present Group Projects & Write Poetry

Goal: Present group projects and finish our poems

Agenda: 
Journal
Group Projects
Self-Evaluation
Writing poetry

1. Journal 
Do you enjoy writing about yourself or do you dislike it? Explain why.

2. Group Projects
  • You've been working with groups to create a presentation based on Maya Angelou's poem, "Still I Rise" 
  • Your presentation should include the following information:
    • Your stanza numbers
    • Your names
    • 4 different examples of imagery/figurative language 
    • The main idea of the poem 
    • Discussion questions for the class
  • Please make sure you've shared your project with me (cdaniel@sandi.net)
3. Presentations

Here is the rubric on which your group presentations will be scored: 

4. Create Your Own Poetry
Last week I gave you a double-sided sheet to help you plan our own poem:
  • Side 1 is a brainstorm for you to consider your ideas for your poem. 
  • Side 2 is an outline of Angelou's poem that you can fill in with your own experiences.
    • Extra opportunity: Copy Angelou's rhyme scheme. Only certain lines rhyme with each other! 
  • This should be finished today. 
PLEASE KEEP YOUR POEM SAFE IN YOUR BINDER - YOU WILL NEED IT LATER THIS WEEK. 


Things you definitely should have finished: 
  • Google Classroom Assignment: Navigating the Waters Questions (10/2) 
  • Google Classroom Assignment: Exploring the Depths Questions (10/3) 
  • Check Powerschool if you feel like you're behind - grades are updated (with the exception of today's group presentation scores. I'll get those in tonight!)
