Rebellious Teacher

I don't use any fancy tools and programs. With a little imagination, skill, knowledge and love, I have been turning English lessons into magic for 27 years. Hope that some of that magic will inspire you too.

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)
