Get out your Poetry Packet! Open to the Visual Dictionary (page 4). Quiz your table group on the Poetry Terms!

Objectives: Today I will read & draft Just Because poems and Blackout poems.

Homework: 


  • Finish drafting Just Because & Blackout poems if you do not finish in class
  • Last day to turn in late work is tomorrow
  • Poetry Term quiz on Monday

Agenda: 
  • Just Because Poems (page 21)
    • ​Just Because poems are powerful because they make a statement about how others perceive certain qualities, attributes, and values.
    • They are a way to address and shatter stereotypes.
    • Stereotype: an oversimplified & fixed view of a certain person, group, or quality (often negative)​

  • Now You Try:
    • Consider certain stereotypes or misconceptions that you have personally encountered in your life.
    • Write them down (example: quiet = shy)
    • Then, create a Just Because poem to shatter those stereotypes.
    • Use at least two “Just because… Doesn’t mean” statements.
  • Blackout Poems (page 22-23)
    • Blackout poems are created from already published works by choosing some words from the page to create a poem while covering/decorating over all others.
    • Sometimes the way the poem is covered creates a visual that matches the theme of the poem.

  • Now You Try:​
    • Read over the scanned page (page 23) or choose a different published work to use.
    • Lightly circle the words you want to use to create a poem. Start with the words that stand out to you.
    • After you have decided on the poem itself, begin drafting an image or covering the words you will not be using with markers, colored pencils, etc.
  • Extra Work Time:
    • ​Complete any unfinished poems from your packet.
    • Choose/revise the 10 poems for your anthology.
    • Draft a Dedication page (These poems are dedicated to _____ because…) or an About the Author page (list a few facts about yourself).
