Poetry; Blog Post; Film Documentary: The End of Poverty?

EQ: Writing an original poem draft, adding a personal comment about a social issue, and continuing to watch the documentary The End of Poverty? in order to inspire and/or as a model from which to learn how to create our own documentary.

This morning we will start with a poetry prompt for your Penfield poetry submission. After the prompt, please take 15-20 minutes to complete the poem draft. On Monday, you will be able to revise and prepare your poem for the contest.

If you complete the poem early, please post a comment on the blog about the documentary film we have begun to watch. You may wish to comment on your own views regarding the topic (poverty), comment about the film, comment on the artistry or camera work of the film using your film vocabulary terms, or you may wish to write about Dandelion Wine and your response to beginning that book. In any case, please write for 5-10 minutes to complete a blog post.

During period 4, we will return to room 238 to continue watching the documentary: The End of Poverty? As you watch the film, please complete the graphic organizer you started last class. This will be turned in as participation credit when we complete the viewing of the film.
