Understand the complexity and the need for critical thinking when creating historical reports.
Analyze personal interviews and decode them to create a narrative about your history.
Step 1:
Mrs. Silver will ask students to take out their "Where I'm From" table that they completed with their parents/guardians, as homework, from the previous night. Next, Mrs. Silver will go over headings on the table to make sure that students filled in and understood the homework assignment as they had been instructed to do so.
Step 2:
Mrs. Silver will go over the directions for the "Where I'm From" poem, and will ask students if they have any questions about the instructions. Next, Mrs. Silver will show a clip to help students understand the directions for the assignment. Introduction for "Where I'm From" poem
Once the clip has been shown Mrs. Silver will discuss with students what was taking place with the students as they were constructing and reading their poems...interactions with their peers, teachers, and what the result was.
Step 3:
Mrs. Silver will ask students to start filling in their "Where I'm From" poem template. All students will be given 20 minutes to fill in their template. Once students have been given 20 minutes to fill in their template Mrs. Silver will ask students to take a break from their writing and will show them a clip of George Ella Lyon's poem (creator of the assignment).
When the clip is over Mrs. Silver will ask students to begin writing their rough draft for their poem. After 20 minutes have passed Mrs. Silver will show another example, only this time it will be of a student's poem. As students are writing Mrs. Silver will walk around the room checking students progress and help them with any areas they may have questions or concerns about.
When the clip is over, Mrs. SIlver will ask students to continue writing their poems. Once again after 20 minutes have passed Mrs. SIlver will show another example.
When the clip is over, Mrs. SIlver will ask students to continue writing their poems. Once again after 20 minutes have passed Mrs. SIlver will show another example.
Students will begin writing their final draft. When they have completed their final draft, and Mrs. Silver has checked it, students will be allowed to type their final version on a computer and print it out. Next, students will draw and color pictures around the border of their poem that reflect the statements within their poem.
*This lesson will take the entire class time to complete. Any student that does not finish will need to take assignment with them and complete at home.*
