I lost my talk

The talk you took away.

When I was a little girl

At Shubenacadie school.

 

You snatched it away:

I speak like you

I think like you

I create like you

The scrambled ballad, about my word.

 

Two ways I talk

Both ways I say,

Your way is more powerful.

 

So gently I offer my hand and ask,

Let me find my talk

So I can teach you about me.

Praise the rain, the seagull dive

The curl of plant, the raven talk­—

Praise the hurt, the house slack

The stand of trees, the dignity­—

Praise the dark, the moon cradle

The sky fall, the bear sleep­—

Praise the mist, the warrior name

The earth eclipse, the fired leap—­

Praise the backwards, upward sky

The baby cry, the spirit food-—

Praise canoe, the fish rush

The hole for frog, the upside-down­—

Praise the day, the cloud cup

The mind flat, forget it all—

 

Praise crazy. Praise sad.

Praise the path on which we're led.

Praise the roads on earth and water.

Praise the eater and the eaten.

Praise beginnings; praise the end.

Praise the song and praise the singer.

 

Praise the rain; it brings more rain.

Praise the rain; it brings more rain.

Adjusting rubrics to meet the modified curriculum expectations makes sense to me, however, this is an elementary resource and I am a Secondary teacher. Traditionally, secondary teachers try to make as few modifications to the curriculum as possible, and place more of an emphasis on accommodations that will help students achieve success – this is due to the content heavy nature of subjects and the general graduation requirements and expectations of Ontario. 

With a teachable like drama, not much language output is required for assessment success, there are many ways to show language and communication in my course, that still align with the curriculum expectations.
