Objective: Students will be able to describe an object from several different perspectives.
Do-Now: How many different uses can you think of for a rubber band? List as many as you possibly can.
Agenda: 1) Optical Illusions: We will be looking at several pictures that appear to be of one thing, but, when looked at from a different perspective, appear to be of something else.
Here is the link to the Optical Illusions
2) We will read the poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" and discuss the many perspectives the author has on blackbirds. We will then read a similar poem "Eleven Ways of Looking at Paper" and discuss how the author emulates the multiple perspectives from the "Blackbird" poem.
3) Writing Your Own: You will compose a poem in which you look at an object in TEN different ways. You may emulate the style of the "Blackbird" poem or create a style all of your own. HINT: Think of all the different uses for the object. Think of all the places you might find the object. Think of what the object might mean to different people.
Homework: Finish your poem. Make sure to bring the rough copy of the first story for your memoirs tomorrow.
