In this class, learners will do a short group activity as an ice breaker of some kind. One popular way I like to start the class is to go around and have each student share an adjective about a common topic or themselves. This type of activity also acts as a warm up for the class. Then, I will share examples of the poetry structure of an acrostic poem. After that, we will write a poem or two together. No prior experience in writing poems is required. Differentiation will occur based on the needs of the class. Advanced learners may choose to write their own or expand on one of the poems we write together and share. There will also be opportunities to work on developing spelling strategies.
