Motivation
(opening/
introduction/
engagement)
Alright class, we have been working with lots of
different poems these past weeks. Weve read a lot
and written a lot. Today were going to do
something a little different.
Show video of choral reading
Just like this group. Were going to be acting out
our poems. Each of you will be in a group, and it is
your job to follow the directions on this sheet to
present a poem to the class!

Development
(the largest
component or
main body of
the lesson)

3) Put students in groups of 5. Have them spread
around the room. Each is given a sheet of
directions and the poem that they are assigned to
that they will then give a presentation on the next
day (that way they can bring in costumes or props
if they want). They are given these directions: at
least 2 students must speak, and there must be at
least two motions/actions involved in the
presentation. All else is left to student discretion.
Think about the different parts of the poem. Are
there characters? Some of you can play certain
people. Think of different ways you can say the
lines. Sometimes you can say them all together.
Sometimes only one person says a line.

Poem 1: Skin

Poem 2: As Soon as Fred Gets out of Bed

Poem 3: Home Youre Where Its Warm Inside

Poem 4: Oh, The Places Youll Go

Poem 5: Ourchestra














Students work together in groups to figure out
parts, decide how they want to present. They also
must run through it a couple times. (They will get
more practice runs before they must perform
tomorrow).












1 min
Closure
(conclusion,
You all worked very hard today, and I am so
excited to see how you act out your poems! Good
