Do-Now: How have you changed since you were around 8 years old? How have your likes/dislikes changed? What do you do now that you didn't do when you were younger? What did you stop doing that you used to do when you were younger? What is important to you now that wasn't important to you back then?
Today: We will be reading/writing poems about change. First, we will focus on the change of seasons by reading "The Tree" and "Seasons of the School Oak." Next, we will focus on the changes a person goes hrough as he/she gets older by reading "Mom" and "I Once New a Girl." You will then be composing two of your own original poems. The first will be modeled after "The Tree" and "Seasons of the School Oak." In this poem, you will discuss how an object or place is used and is changed throughout the four seasons. The second will be modeled after "Mom" and "I Once New a Girl." In this poem, you will focus on how you have changed since you were a child.
