This lesson remixes an original lesson plan entitled "The Poetry of Emily Dickinson" by Melissa Strong: Melissa Strong. Retrieved from the Digital Public Library of America .

In this lesson, activities 1 and 2 from the original source are combined so that students emulate the writing style of Dickinson to write their own original poetry based on modern issues concerning women. An extension activity asks students to transfer their understanding of how literary elements shape meaning to different poets who each have a distinct style.

This resource provides eight multiple-choice questions which were modeled after question stems frequently appearing on the End of Course (EOC) Reading Standards of Learning (SOL) test. It is designed to be used with the poem "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop.

 Students will craft a persuasive presentation of information for a cause they believe needs to be improved to convince the citizens within their home community. Students are encouraged to explore pamphlets, petitions, and commercials to best find the way that they will present their information. Additionally, students will be selecting their own, school-appropriate, topics to address. The linking factor will be a persuasive outline for each assignment.** This performance assessment was developed by a collaborative team of teachers and division staff from Middlesex, Poquoson, and West Point school divisions.

This lesson remixes an original lesson created by Susan Ketcham entitled "The Poetry of Maya Angelou." In this lesson, students expand on a classroom activity (discussion question number 4) from the original source lesson and will use that as a foundation for learning and preparing for their own oral recitation of a poem. In order to successfully complete this task, students will need to explore one poem for both literal and figurative meaning and then determine how that poem would sound if spoken aloud. This last step requires students to critically explore how oral techniques such as tone, pauses, shifts, etc. help develop meaning.
