Students will create a rough draft of their poetry (written or typed), show me for
approval, and then type it on their PowerPoint.

Reflection
The culminating event will be the
parent presentations at the end of the
Poetry unit.
I will know if this assignment is
meaningful if students work hard and
enjoy themselves as they complete it.
Students will reflect on their work based on a self-reflection that
will be incorporated within their poetry book.
Students will be able to provide feedback to me as the
assignment progresses.
I will also know if it's good based on how parents react when
they enter the classroom.
This will be effective because students are creating their own
poems, presenting their poems to their family members, and
creating their own videos.
Thank You!
