Poetry day 4

1. Assure: Day 4
Analyze the learners. I will be teaching a unit on poetry to a sixth grade class. There are ten girls and
nine boys; 85% of them are white and 15% are African-American. Five of the students belong to the
gifted program, and three have ADD.
State objectives. My students will be able to identify characteristics of limericks and identify things like
alliteration, similie, metaphor, rhyme scheme, etc. within the poetry. They will do this by scanning a qr
code that is linked to voki, looking at the digital imaging poster, referring back to the vocabulary words,
and reading other limericks, and writing their own. They will do this by the end of day 4 with 85%
accuracy.
Select methods, media, and materials. For day four, we will use a qr code, voki, podcast, digital imaging
poster, and a website to read other limericks.
Utilize Media & Material. At the beginning of class, we will look again at the digital imagining poster to
see that we will be covering limericks today. We will listen to the limerick definition on the podcast. The
students will scan the qr code which will open the voki that recites a limerick. Students will do in an class
writing assignment, writing at least two limericks on their own.
Require Learner Participation. Students are required to participate by scanning the qr code and
listening to the voki, identify examples of vocab words in limericks, and by writing at least two limericks
of their own.
Evaluate and Revise. I will test all media before class begins to make sure all technology is working
properly. If the qr code doesn’t scan correctly or if the voki doesn’t work, I will read the students the
limerick.
