Check for
preparation:
Poet’s Toolbox Poem (rough
draft)
Read today’s
poem:
“Catch” by Robert Francis
Have students identify some of
the poetic “tools” that Francis is using.
Review the
elements of the poet’s toolbox (on whiteboard)
How effective is your poem in
achieving its central focus or purpose?
Share your
rough draft with at least two other students and get their oral feedback.
Follow the PQP formula for
feedback
P=Praise (tell
them what you liked about it—be specific)
Q=Question (ask
the writer why they did certain things or what they intended)
P=Polish (give a
piece of advice—something they could do to “polish it up”)
Take time to
do revisions to your rough draft (do a whole new 2nd draft if your
poem is short)
Assignment:
Poet’s Toolbox Poem (typed,
edited, final copy—due tomorrow)
Silent,
sustained reading for the remainder of the period
