  2. Our Agenda for Today • Daily Grammar Activity • Pass Back Work • Track Graduation Projects and Poetry Analysis • Questions regarding grades or trackers? Write them on a post it and park them in the train station! • Gallery Walk • Independent Work Time

  3. Expectations • Objectives for today: • SWBAT analyze a poem’s meaning by paraphrasing sections of the poem • SWBAT identify and analyze the use of figurative language, tone, and shift of a poem using graphic organizers in preparation for writing literary analysis paragraphs. • Gallery Walk Expectations: • Every student is to be participating. • Students are to view the “window panes” around the room in order to answer the questions provided. These questions must be answered on a separate sheet of paper. • Students are to remain quiet and engaged during this activity. Any off task behavior will result in an automatic F for the day. • Use post-its on at least two windowpanes for feedback. Put your name on the post it. At least two “wows” and two “wonders” per windowpane.

  4. “I’ve learned that no matter your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.” – Maya Angelou • Listen to the song “Family Portrait” by Pink. • Write a six word story on your relationship with a parent or guardian.

  5. “My Papa’s Waltz” By Theodore Roethke The whiskey on your breathCould make a small boy dizzy;But I hung on like death:Such waltzing was not easy. We romped until the pansSlid from the kitchen shelf;My mother's countenanceCould not unfrown itself. The hand that held my wristWas battered on one knuckle;At every step you missedMy right ear scraped a buckle. You beat time on my headWith a palm caked hard by dirt,Then waltzed me off to bedStill clinging to your shirt.

  6. Student Discovery… • Work with a partner to annotate and read “Boy Named Sue.” • Independently complete TP-FASTT chart on the poem. • Battle of the Blocks • Upcoming deadlines: • Introduction for GP Due Tomorrow • Two songs of your choice (school appropriate) that have a meaning/ connection to a social issue
