| Description: | Our classroom has been working on a Lucy Calkins poetry unit. We are looking for a classroom to share in our writer's celebration. We wish to link to a classroom who has also written poems to be shared. Our hope is for our students to read their poems aloud as well as the other class to read and share their poems. |
| Dates: | Time: Monday, May 3 10:30-11-ish (Eastern Standard time) |
| Sign up method: | Website |
| Grades: | 3 |
| Subjects: | Elementary All Subjects |
| Preparation Time Frame: | You will need a few class periods prior to the connection to prepare your presentation and a 45-60 minute videoconference. |
| Responsibilities: | Create their own poetry and present them to their peers. |
| Agenda: | 5 min. Welcome and introductions. Each class shares their location and brief information about their school. 30 min. Presentations. Each class shares a poem. Classes are to trade off each time a poem is presented until everyone in each class has had a turn to present. Teachers should negotiate who present when. 5 min. Question and answer. Each class has prepared questions for the other on the content and generates questions while/after listening to the presentation. After the content questions, if time remains, students may enjoy asking each other questions about their respective locations and schools. |
| Other: | • Trade off presenting. Instead of presenting for the full 15 minutes, trade off small sections, i.e. when sharing poetry, each class shares one poem at a time. |
