Poetry Performance is using poetry activities to help
students develop fluency.
Monday: The students should form small groups. They will go
to the library and find a poem that all of the students would like to perform
at the end of the week. An approved poem needs to be copied for each student in
the group. The teacher needs to introduce and review the purpose and procedures
for poetry performance. Invitations to the poetry party that will be on Friday
will be sent home on this day.
Tuesday: Each student needs to read the poem individually
then discuss the poem with his or her group. As the students read they will
need to mark words that they do not know in order to discuss them with the
group and add them to the word wall.
Wednesday: The group needs to be responsible for assigning
the role to each group member. The students also need to discuss the cadence
and prosody throughout the poem. A rubric will be presented to the students for
guidelines that they all need to follow in their performance.
Thursday: As the teacher circulates, the groups need to get
together with other groups to practice performing their poetry.
Friday: Have a poetry party, turning the classroom into a
poetry house, for all of the student to celebrate all that they have learned
during poetry week. Invite parents to the poetry party to show their
appreciation for the student’s poetry accomplishments. Have each group perform
in front of the class following the rubric.
