Monday, June 5 - Thursday, June 8

Wednesday

Camera Shots?
1. Reading time.
2. Poetry terms Kahoot!
3. Complete looking at Deer's Take on Man: after reading the poem, write a statement of theme for the poem.: what is the author’s message about life, society, human behavior? In addition, you should draw a symbol to represent the theme, but it CANNOT be something that is mentioned in the poem directly or indirectly – so a gun would not be allowed because it is indirectly mentioned in the poem.
4.When Harry Met Sally video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guinBnWWuKE Predict what the poem will be about. 
5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ-wVeUrSl0 - Lorna Crozier - “My Last Erotic Poem”! 6. Form, Features, Audience, Purpose of Crozier’s poem. 

Tuesday

1. Read your novel.
2. Camera shots to view?
3. Share some of yesterday's poems. Block B - complete the writing. Listen to poet.
4. Poetry terms and devices KAHOOT.
5. Before looking at the poem, look at the title of the poem on the board. Discuss with a partner what you think the title means. Ensure you all understand what the apostrophe does so you do not think the deer are plotting to overthrow humans!

3.    Work in trios. One student reads each stanza out loud. Pause to think and each person underlines something in the stanza. Discuss selections. Move to stanza 2, another person in the trio reads, pause, underline, discuss. Repeat for stanza 3.

4.     Using the Close Reading of a Poem sheet that you all have, write all over your poem to neatly point out details about the title, word choices/order, tone, figurative language, sound devices, etc. You know the drill by now.

5.     After reading the poem, write a statement of theme for the poem.: what is the author’s message about life, society, human behavior? In addition, you should draw a symbol to represent the theme, but it CANNOT be something that is mentioned in the poem directly or indirectly – so a gun would not be allowed because it is indirectly mentioned in the poem.

7. Look at the contents of Cheryl Strayed's backpack in "Wild" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2-GSqPyl0 and how she carried her burden for more than a 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, abandoning things and lightening her load as she went.
