Procedure:
Before: (approx. 5 minutes) Anticipatory set, Motivation, & Building Background
The teachers will ask the student when he has "come home" before in relation to the poem.
The teachers will ask the student whether or not he has ever read a poem before and what a poem means to him
personally. (Does he like poetry? Why or why not?)
The student will then list words on a mini white board that remind him of poetry.
The student will be assessed throughout the lesson based on his ability to contextually define the vocab words and
to reflect on the purpose of the poem.
The student will then be assessed based on his ability to write three sentences using the three vocabulary words
that relate to the concept of "coming home."
The student will also be asked to orally state what the poem was about.
Extension:
Content Achieved: The student will examine the implementation of figurative language and how said language creates
images in the reader's mind. The student can discuss and explore how figurative languge creates a tone in a poem.
Content not achieved: Introduce supplemental videos that represent the meaning of the word, implement a more thorough,
in-depth step by step discussion of what the poem may mean. The student will finally be introduced to a glogster that breaks
down the vocabulary words into accessible components.
