Wednesday, February 16

Objective: Students will compose an ODE to their favorite food.

Do-Now: What is your favorite food?  Describe it: What does it look like? (Describe the shapes and colors).  Smell like? (What other foods/things does it smell like besides itself?)  Taste like?  (Use adjectives such as "juicy," "spicy," "sweet," etc.)  Feel like? (Describe the texture/temperature of the food). Sound like? (What sounds are made when the food is cooking or being eaten?)

Agenda: An ODE is a poem written in praise of something/someone.  Today, you will be writing an ODE in praise of your favorite food.  FIRST, we will read examples of two ODES written about different foods: "Ode to Subway" and "Ode to the Apple."  After discussing these examples, you will compose your own ODE about your favorite food using SENSORY DETAILS (details which describe taste, sound, touch, smell, and sight.)  You will describe your food as well as describe what it's like to eat your food.  You will, ultimately, show everyone why your food is the best and why it is worthy of praise.

Homework: Finish your ODE.
