- 20. Poetry Circles • Choose an essenEal quesEon to guide your poetry readings. • Model a strategy for reading a poem with a shared text. 3 reads: 1 to ques3on, 1 to sketch, 1 how does seKng impact what happens. • Ask for student and/or adult volunteers to read and discuss a poem in a fishbowl. • Observers noEce ‘what makes this discussion work’. • Create criteria for an effecEve poetry circle discussion • Distribute copies of various poems for students to read.
- 21. • Using a similar strategy (read and quesEon, read and sketch, read and highlight powerful language), students independently read their chosen poem. • Form poetry circles of students reading the same poem. • Students discuss their poems, keeping the criteria for an effecEve poetry circle discussion in mind. • Students self-‐assess with the criteria. • Students write in response to their poem and the essenEal quesEon. Sample poems from Nancie Atwell’s Naming the World
- 22. • ConnecEons • EmoEons • image • Opinions • Response style • RelaEng self to poem • Showing how the poem changes your thinking • Explaining why you feel the way you do about the poem and how you think the author feels about his/her subject • CommenEng on the image formed in your mind upon reading the poem • Expressing likes and dislikes about poem, with evidence • Asking quesEons of the poem or the poet • Using descripEve words • Using quotes from the poem • SuggesEng improvements to the poem, if needed
- 23. Personal inquiry within an inquiry unit • Provide students with mini booklets to use to record any quesEons that they have during a unit. • This helps to build students’ own inquiry quesEons and sets the stage for more generaEng their own thinking later in the unit. • Once a week or so the class engages in a discussion about what they were wondering, what they have learned so far about these quesEons and what new quesEons are emerging.
