Warm up:
Meet the poet Roger Bonair Agard by watching these two videos. You created questions for him when you started your unit on poetry. In these two excerpts, Roger answers:
1. When and why did you start to write?
2. Where do you get your inspiration?
Reflect: How did writing help Roger as a child? Do you connect with his idea of where we get inspiration for poems?
Today we learn about the Ode poem. This lesson will connect with writing.
Tuesday, May 12: Lesson
Lesson: by the end of this two day lesson, you will be able to identify and apply the form and function of Ode poems. Today and tomorrow, your reading and writing are connected.
First, we answer the question:
What is an ode? As you watch this video, ask yourself: What is the function, or purpose, of an ode?
Reflect: How has the object of the ode changed over time?
How did Pablo Neruda change how people thought about the ode?
