But, this year I want to do more reading and the same amount of writing. I am planning on doing this in addition to our regular writing and reading curriculum. The only thing is, I'm only able to fit it in for half an hour once a week...in order to use it as an additional piece of my lessons...otherwise, goodness knows when I'd be able to fit it in at all. Since it's only for 30 minutes I'm starting to think towards this sort of a schedule. I'm not sure yet if it will be the same week to week, depending on what we are reading, writing, or even what form we are studying (since some are harder than others). Read aloud poems/Practice poems: 5 minutes Introduce/Study different form: 15 minutes Write own form of poem: 10 minutes They would probably have to finish their poem during centers, free time, or the following week...it all depends. I would like to know how you introduce a poetry unit initially and then how do you go about it during the actual unit. What sort of poetry do you study (authors, specific poems, styles, etc.)? How much do you have them write? Do you have them memorize and recite poetry dramatically? Please share your past and present experiences and curriculum! Thanks so much.
