Thursday, April 26

Objective: SWBAT identify the elements of a pastoral poem.  SWBAT compose their own idealized poems.

Do-Now: Describe a song you’ve heard in which the singer attempts to appeal to someone he/she loves by making promises to them.  What does the singer say?  Are his/her promises realistic?  Explain.

Today: 1) Class will read “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love,” pg. 295, discussing the idealization used by the writer to entice his love to be with him.

2) Students will compose their own idealized poem in which they attempt to convince an imaginary love interest to be with them.

Exit Slip: Poetry share-out

Homework: Finish your poem
