Objective: SWBAT compose a response to a classmate’s idealized poem, satirizing the poem's unrealistic promises.
Do-Now: Take out the poem you wrote yesterday and exchange poems with one of your classmates. What are your initial reactions to the poem? Do the writer’s promises seem realistic to you? Explain.
Today: 1) Class will read “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd,” discussing how it responds to the idealistic promises made in “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love.” How is the female speaker more realistic than her male counterpart?
2) Students will compose poems in response to their classmates’ idealistic poems written yesterday. They will make their poems address their classmates’ poem in a realistic manner using humor to get their point across. This poem will follow the same format as yesterday's poem (6 stanzas, 4 lines per stanza, aabb ryhme scheme, optional 8 syllables per line).
