Lesson Plan for Wednesday, May 14, 2014

Wednesday, May 14, 2014
1.  SAGE: Common Core Assessment (for any who need to finish the test).
2.  Lesson:
           Creativity (discussion)
                Are some people creative and some people not?
                Or is creativity a natural function of the human mind? 
                What is creativity?  (See definitions on the overhead by various writers and thinkers)
                Do a word association activity as creative pre-reading activity for today's poem.
3.  Assignment:
              Poetry Poker
                    I will deal you five random words on 3 x 5 cards.
                    Follow my instructions (and your own creativity) to make a poem.
                    Use all five of the words somewhere in your poem.
                    See examples done by former students (on the overhead).
                    A rough draft is due tomorrow.
                    A typed, edited final copy is due Friday.
