May 7 - May 11

Friday
1. In Inquiry 3 for this week: In Plaster work from Monday, New generation poets. 
2. Share one of your "new generation poets" pick a video to share with the class. Tell us what your "why does poetry matter" quote is and how the chosen poet represents that idea.
3. How do SOCIETY, GEOGRAPHY, AND HISTORY affect A TEXT (think author AND reader)?  
How can you identify the influence of society, geography and history on the values and perspectives in texts? We will discuss these questions and reflect on them for each of the poets/poems shared today. Your job will be to write up a brief summary of your thoughts about your particular poet/poem (feel free to include anything that is said during the class discussion) and add it to the work from yesterday. 
4. KAHOOT - non-fiction terms and devices





Thursday
1. Non-fiction terms - did we do the Kahoot yet?
2. Today: the new generation of poets & Why does poetry matter? What is the power of poetry?
3. Process: pick a quote about poetry from one of the "Why does poetry matter links": Content library/inquiry 3/calendar. Find some "new multi-modal" poetry that you feel represents the quote. Paste your chosen poetry into the Collaboration space/inquiry 3/new poets.
4. Paste a copy of your quote and poetry into your own personal folder/inquiry 3.

Wednesday
1. Non-fiction terms and devices competition!

3. Sonnet from last week - reading approaches?
4. Non-fiction terms - identify them

Monday

1. "In Plaster" by Sylvia Plath: find a copy online. Paste the poem into W2 Learning Evidence. Look on line for a variety of analyses of the poem and its meaning. Pick one. Paste part or all of it into this week's Evidence of Learning; include a link to the web site. In 150 words (slightly less or slightly more is ok) explain what type of reading approach(s) the author has used to "unpack" the poem and why you think that is the reading approach used. How effective is the use of this approach in "unpacking" this poem?
