(0)
As a follow up to our study of different poetic forms and techniques, students now begin to see poetry in the music they listen to every day. This is collaborative presentation in which groups of 5 students select some meaningful issue in the study of poetry and popular lyrics, take a position on that issue, analyze it as if it is a poem and then present an argument to the whole class. My resource consists of PDF document and PowerPoint presentation. I included : Description and instructions Procedure and Tips Structure of presentation Group members - roles Guidelines for good oral presentation List and Examples of Literary Devices Peer and teacher evaluation / evaluation criteria In -class essay (an exmaple)
