Creative Project

The Creative Project that I intend on completing is a One Week Plan that teaches a specific aspect of the English Language. My area of certification is first through eighth grade. I will focus my lesson planing to about the sixth ot seventh grade. The topic that I would like to cover, in detail is poetry. I would take poetry and break it down to 5 smaller categories. Each day, through a 20-25minute lesson plan, we will focus on one of those aspects. The topics that I would tentatively like to cover are: poetry vocabulary, the structures of poems, different types of poem, and famous poets work. With in my week long lesson plan, I will allow room for group work that would enclude presenting one poem that was written with a partner. There are many things I would like to include, but the important thing is to keep it focused. Once I get started on the project, I will end up narrowng down the focus of my one week plan.

GG,

I like this idea, but remember you must find a way to specifically gear the lessons toward issues covered in the class: investigations into the lexicon, semantics, phonics, word histories. Your idea is great but really more geared toward a creative writing lesson.
