Wednesday, January 13 and Thursday, January 14

WEDNESDAY
Freewrite #1 for the semester.
Today we began a KWL chart on the topic of Poverty in America. We did the K (know) column in class and the students will finish the chart as we move through this unit.

THURSDAY
I provided the students with some poverty statistics and from the information on the chart, the statistics, and the classroom bulletin board the students are to write a Found Poem. A found poem is a poem composed of words and phrases found in literature provided as a stimulus.
The student poems must be at least
10 lines or phrases long. They will be submitted at the end of the hour.
