Last Thursday we started our poetry unit. We kicked off this unit by watching 2 videos of spoken poetry and then discussed each of the poems attempting to dissect their meaning. Today we watched a performance that Lin-Manuel Miranda did at the White House back in 2009 and then we discussed how poems can be written about anything- you can take a topic we learn in class and turn it into a poem! Afterwards, the class started working on writing their own poems. Homework: P1-P3, Organizing Writing and Compare/Contrast Book Talk
