GANAG+lesson+plans

Here are the lesson plans I created last summer. I modified them when I actually taught my five lessons and used most of the information from my days two and four of the poetry unit I had planned previously. I had two lessons for 7th graders and three for 8th graders. The first day for each grade was an introduction and included a SmartBoard slideshow and activities. Additionally, the 7th grade had a lesson on personification in poetry on the first day. The second day for them was using onomatopoeia in poetry. I used a PowerPoint to organize my lesson because the SmartBoard was not available. In 8th grade we discussed similes on the first day. The second day was a PowerPoint lesson on metaphors and extended metaphors. Finally, the last day was a brief discussion of imagery and a wrap-up. Even though I could only use the SmartBoard on the first day, I still used numerous websites (such as [|www.visuwords.com]) and YouTube. I created a wiki site for 7th grade and a blog for 8th. Here are the two PowerPoints I used.
