What concepts and key vocabulary will students need to grasp fully to access Heaney’s poem? You may want to consider grouping strategies, scaffolding and gradual release, and embedding culturally relevant elements in the activity.

How will you check for student understanding at key points in this lesson? How might you customize Activities 2 and 3 for your students?

This could be used in several other activities in my classroom! jaredjennings1 https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2253461177 2022-08-02 13:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2253461177 I would have the students complete the first portion but then jigsaw the terminology and teach one another prior to completing the remaining sections. I also might use TRTW as a way to bridge their thinking prior to answering the questions. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283184907 2022-09-05 14:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283184907 I would have students work through this in groups and/or perhaps discussion stations. That way, I can hear misconceptions and/or address questions prior to seeing their written work. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283185700 2022-09-05 14:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283185700 I would have students work in small TRTW groups through Activity 4. That way, I can hear misconceptions and/or highlight in-depth and on-target insights prior to seeing their work. For activity 5, I might initially provide some sentence stems as a guide for strong structure and verb usage. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283187283 2022-09-05 14:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283187283 One poem that comes to mind is Walt Whitman's "I Sit and Look Out." Although it is relevant, it hold hold within it a different historical context. I could sequence out the lesson in a series of activities such as this to help bridge gaps between pre-reading and analysis, as well as help students through the journey of analysis. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283189188 2022-09-05 14:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2283189188 Activity 1 totty_leigh https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301860507 I would have students work together in pairs, then larger to make a "Digging" word web and also do similar activity with question on values-cultural elements.  The question on values would work well as an independent journal before sharing, so students could really think about their own experiences, then notice what emerges as material is shared. Pending on when this poetry work is done in the year, some of the literature studied in a course may also include ideas of fathers and sons (Night, Odyssey, for example), which could reinforce that thematic idea and show its universality.  ]]> 2022-09-18 19:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301860507 Activity 2-3 totty_leigh https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301869561 If this were early on in the year, then I would use the text dependent questions in class and encourage notes, which could be checked through an exit pass of 1 or 2 of the questions to be submitted. To improve connections between questions from Act. 1 and 2-3 esp. culturally elements (values and tasks), students could annotate directly words that provide clues to tasks. 
The idea of "digging" with pen vs. other tools really is cool metaphor that may work best to scaffold up to with students pending familiarity with devices.  ]]> 2022-09-18 20:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301869561 4-5 totty_leigh https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301880773 Keeping in mind something that was said in the video-maybe break down complex after seeing a big LIST that students had brainstormed in their charts. This could be posted in the classroom or on a Padlet and discussion of words in connection to devices could follow.  
Student evidence selection is integral to success, so seeing the connection between words and lines in poem could be done with highlighters or colored pencils. A small way to Check on students could be to provide 1 word, the evidence and explanation/analysis. ]]> 2022-09-18 20:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301880773 General R totty_leigh https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301883274 Margaret Atwood "Siren Song" is a poem I pair with Book 12 of Homer's Odyssey. To provide annotation guidelines and build to understand ideas in those texts, these questions and set up work well. "Starlings in Winter" or "The Journey" by M. Oliver too. ]]> 2022-09-18 20:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2301883274 Customize by considering student background knowledge and familiarity with the terminology. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323262707 2022-10-03 07:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323262707 Students can work in small groups to deconstruct the prompt. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323263181 2022-10-03 07:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323263181 Check for understanding along the way. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323263951 2022-10-03 07:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323263951 Provide teacher modeling to annotate the poem. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323264499 2022-10-03 07:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323264499 Model close reading, pause, and reflect for connections to the poem. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323265648 2022-10-03 07:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323265648 Students will work in small groups, record on poster paper, the whole class will have a gallery walk. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323266538 2022-10-03 07:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323266538 We'll consider CR currently published poetry to continue using the techniques to analyze poetry. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323268710 2022-10-03 07:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323268710 Small Group shares with class. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323269648 2022-10-03 07:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323269648 I'll consider student backgroud knowledge when we consider key concepts to grasp meaning. https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323271406 2022-10-03 07:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2323271406 I would take time to review poetic terminology, perhaps having the students work in pairs.

Defining term like "rhetoric" will be key as well to help deepen connection to motif/symbol work as well as language use for AP students. ]]> 2023-08-14 15:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2661595610 4-5 totty_leigh https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2661600048 It is integral that students brainstorm list and words other than just relying on complex. So, even breaking down student understanding of the word complex to emerge with better word choices.  
From that list, choice to develop AP/thesis and maybe a scaffold of composing AP for students pending on when this unit falls in the curriculum. Reviewing graphic organizer to ensure relevant selection of evidence for chosen AP. As organizer still seems broad to encourage selection of many when essay composition would require deeper "digging" into 2-3 examples only. ]]> 2023-08-14 15:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2661600048 Model close reading and annotating for poetic elements. michelle_andrews1 https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675813138 2023-08-29 00:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675813138 Have small groups analyze a section of the poem on chart paper then have a gallery walk. michelle_andrews1 https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675816515 2023-08-29 00:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675816515 If students can create a theme or multiple themes, that would indicate understanding. michelle_andrews1 https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675819722 2023-08-29 00:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675819722 I would use poems from the district curriculum to compare and contrast with this poem. michelle_andrews1 https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675822929 2023-08-29 00:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/NMSITTT/5hxyiygcts1d9cqi/wish/2675822929 I really like another participant's idea of a "digging" word web to start student's thinking.
