Notes From a Poetry Unit Draft

Download Poetry Unit

This is a very rough draft that I will keep on the back-burner over the holidays. Since I will teach poetry in the spring, I have some time to figure out if my outline is feasible. I have half a semester to teach poetry, so I will be able to go more in-depth than I usually do.  Imagine, teaching the stuff I am actually good at doing. A treat for me!

I notice that all the projects in my unit, for the most part, use technology and require the students to publish their work online. Teaching in a one-to-one school has really opened up project possibilities. Where, normally, there would only be enough lab or laptop cart time for one project requiring computers, I am now imagining all projects as tech-heavy. Where I used to think poster, I now think website.

I asked the kids to jot down a list on Friday, like on paper, and a few students were honestly frazzled.

    "But can't I just type it, Ms. Hipteacher?"

    "Not this time. You can just use any scrap of paper. It doesn't matter what it is."

    "But I don't have any paper. Or a pen."

    "Fine. Just email it to me."

From where they are, what I plan on doing--iMovies, blogs, podcasts, websites, etc.--is nothing interesting. I could go much further with the tech.

I remember hearing about a teacher who made 30 years worth of dittos the first year teaching and never changed. Fortunately, it looks like that way of doing things is extinct!

Kids don't even learn cursive for their writing anymore. Things have changed ever so much.
