(PPT) • Explain how this poetic form is not defined by syllables, but by parts of speech • Identify the parts of speech in the poem (skip the onomatopoeia for now) • Present the definition of a diamonte poem • Return to the original poem and look at the two instances of onomatopoeia. Ask students to explain what those words mean. Define onomatopoeia and emphasize that it is a noun – especially since they will need it for their poems. • Brainstorm as many examples of onomatopoeia as possible. If you have comic books or strips to bring in that would be helpful. • Return to the original poem again. Discuss the poetic device of imagery and how it can be developed in a poem. • Are the images in the example vivid? Why or why not? • What senses are addressed? • How does imagery compare to literal language? • What is the role of the picture and sounds in creating the image? • Emphasize the value of word choice as a tool for powerful imagery • Word Web for “bird” and “fish”. Use the senses as leads and then brainstorm synonyms or more vivid terminology. Pass out thesauri and dictionaries if possible. • Do this in PPT to review creating, moving and copying text boxes • You may want to project the example slide and then write on the board, or work directly in PPT. • Return to the original poem. Explain how to insert images and sounds. • Review how slide layouts can help with images • Explain how to search for an image in the clip art files • Discuss why you would want to use images and sounds to accompany a poem • As a class create one slide with a diamonte inspired from the word web activity. • Students suggest words to use and explain why, from the perspective of imagery, form or both (i.e. let’s use ‘soaring’ because it’s a verb for going really high in the sky) • Students then suggest images & give verbal directions for how to search for and insert them. Do the same for any onomatopoeia/sounds used. 10 5 10 15 15 10 25 Source:

What search terms do you need to find the image? • Make sure all four poems are ready by tomorrow because they will be collected/checked for a mid-unit assessment on the next Tech Day • Self Assessment on understanding so far in the unit and the work completed to date Source:

  23. Lesson Overview: This lesson will introduce the quatrain poem structure and the concept of rhyme scheme. This lesson will also distinguish between describing a poem’s structure and its affect/impact. Simple animation in PowerPoint will be introduced. • LESSON 8 • POETIC FORM: • Quatrain • POETIC DEVICES: • Rhyme Scheme • Couplets • POWERPOINT SKILLS: • Animation • TIME REQUIRED: • 100 minutes • MATERIALS: • Quatrain Poems PPT • Slips of paper with words for Rhyming Game • Large slips of paper (1/student at least) • Masking Tape • Rhyme Scheme Check-in Activity PPT • Understanding Goals: • 1.1 What are the different types of poetry and how can they be used to express emotion, tell stories, entertain etc? • 1.2 How do the building blocks of poetry contribute to its effectiveness? • 2.2 How can multimedia provide me with another way to express myself? • 2.3 How can my written work be complemented and enhanced by multimedia? • 2.4 How can a multimedia presentation format help others understand my written work? • 3.1 What are the key features of Microsoft PowerPoint? Standards: • MA Curriculum Frameworks: ELA • Students will understand and acquire new vocabulary and use it correctly in reading and writing. • Grades 7-84.22 Determine pronunciations, meanings, alternate word choices, and parts of speech, or etymologies of words using dictionaries and thesauruses. • Students will identify, analyze, and apply knowledge of the theme, structure, and elements of poetry and provide evidence from the text to support their understanding. • Grades 7-814.4 Respond to and analyze the effects of sound, form, figurative language, and graphics in order to uncover meaning in poetry: • ·Sound (alliteration, internal rhyme, rhyme scheme); • ·Figurative language (personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole); • ·Graphics (capital letters, line length, word position) • Students will design and create coherent media productions (audio, video, television, multimedia, Internet, emerging technologies) with a clear controlling idea, adequate detail, and appropriate consideration of audience, purpose, and medium. • Grades 5-627.3 Create a media production using effective images, text, music, sound effects, or graphics. • ISTE Standards: Grades 6-8 • Apply productivity/multimedia tools and peripherals to support personal productivity, group collaboration, and learning throughout the curriculum. • Design, develop, publish, and present products (e.g., Web pages, videotapes) using technology resources that demonstrate and communicate curriculum concepts to audiences inside and outside the classroom.

LESSON 8 • POETIC FORM: • Quatrain • POETIC DEVICES: • Rhyme Scheme • Couplets • POWERPOINT SKILLS: • Animation • TIME REQUIRED: • 100 minutes • MATERIALS: • Quatrain Poems PPT • Slips of paper with words for Rhyming Game • Large slips of paper (1/student at least) • Masking Tape • Rhyme Scheme Check-in Activity PPT • Activities: • Introduce the “Purple Cow” quatrain poem . (PPT) • Ask students how many lines are in the poem. Define a quatrain. • Ask students what they notice about the poem • Which words seem to match? Why? What is that called? • Define rhyme and rhyme scheme • What is the rhyme scheme of this poem? How would you describe it? (ABAB) • Highlight the pattern by changing the color of the words that rhyme • Look at the second quatrain – “Mud Turtles.” (PPT) • Repeat same questions as above. • Different rhyme scheme (AABB), highlight with different colors • Define couplets • Explain that there is a new letter for each new rhyme in a poem • Rhyming practice • Ask students to stand up. Say the word “ball.” Each student must think of a word that rhymes to remain standing. If the student can’t think of a word, or if the word does not rhyme, then he/she sits down. If no one in the room can think of a rhyming word (including the teacher) then the student may remain in the game and the teacher begins with a new word. • You may want to prepare a few slips of paper with words that have lots of rhyming options, and that have a variety of vowel sounds and syllables. (i.e. hand, funny, school) • Class couplets • Give each student one piece of 4”x11” paper • In pairs, students write 1 set of couplets about an agreed upon topic (i.e. pizza, Asia, winter, video games). They should write one line on each piece of paper – printed, large, clear • Collect the sheets and tape them to the board to create one long poem of quatrains. Ask a student to read the poem aloud. Ask the class what the rhyme scheme of the long poem is. Write it at the end of each piece of paper. • Ask a different student to rearrange the pieces of paper to make two quatrains. 15 10 15 10 Source:

(see next slide) • There is a poem with a lot of rhyming in it on the screen • Ask students to color rhyming words the same color and to write down the rhyme scheme (in letters) in an answer box at the bottom. They only have 4 minutes to do this. • After the teacher checks the work, either the student or the teacher can reset the slide to its default (all text black, clear answer box) before the next group comes up to the computer. 10 20 20 Stations • Assessment: • Informal monitoring during class couplet activity • Quick rhyme scheme activity on computer Source:
