Good day 6th Graders,
Today we will continue working on the poetry portion of unit 2 about Critical Analysis & Evaluation of Informational Texts. Please make sure you have all your materials.
Thank you
ELA:
Do Now:
- Write down tonight's homework
- Pick up a copy of the "Season Inside of Me" poems from the music stand
Homework:
- Finish drafting your Season Inside of Me" Poem
Before we begin we must review the Bud, Not Buddy Test.
Written Response: Use I,D,E,R format
The majority of you lost point because you didn't include any introduction, or reflection. The other thing you need to improve on is using evidence.
Ex:
What did Bud think happened to the girl who used to live in the room?
When Bud gets to Herman E. Calloway's house he ends up sleeping in the room of a little girl. Bud thinks the girl who used to live in that room is dead. According to Miss Thomas the girl is gone, and Bud has a rule that "Gone = dead." If I were Bud I wouldn't mind sleeping in the room, especially after sleeping under a tree at the library. Bud is lucky to have the little girl's room to sleep in.
This is what a 10 point response should look like!!!

Activity #2
"Seasons inside of Me"
Standards:
W6.4 - Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
In poetry it is common for poets to use nature, and elements of the natural world to describe their inner-selves, feelings, moods, and personalities. The do this using similes & metaphors.
Part 1 - Preview Poems
Part 2 Draft your own Poem
1. Begin with a season
2. Choose simile or metaphor.
3. Compare your inner self to that season using things from nature
4. Use adjectives whenever you use a noun
5. provide a sense of scene (Where)
6. Provide action (Verbs)
Example:
The Winter Inside of me
is like a Majestic Redwood tree,
Anchored to this lonely Earth
for a thousand years
in the quiet, peaceful, forest,
waiting for silent snowflakes
to cover it's bare branches
with a blanket of white.
with a blanket of white.
**You can continue with Winter, or switch seasons**
We will be drafting several poems throughout the week and you will be selecting at least 2 of them you want to edit/revise for our poetry reading. The Poetry Reading will be next Wednesday or Thursday. Each of you will need to get up and recite at least 2 poems to the class!! Happy Writing!
