This lesson was a very thorough overview of personification that is found in various poems. The main goal is that students will be able to define personification as well as explore three poems where it is used. In the first session, the students will collaboratively look over three poems by Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes, and William Blake. At first, I thought that this goal would be a little lofty for students because of the amount of poems; however, these are short poems that students would be able to read easily. In this first lesson, the writer emphasizes the importance of having the students choral read each poem together then discuss the various objects that are personified. The students are also encouraged to compare and contrast the three poems and their use of personification. It also provides an opportunity to clear up any vocabulary that the students do not understand. In the second sessions students brainstorm interesting nouns and verbs that they might like to use in order to write a poem. Session 3 provides a fun activity using the word lists from the day before. Students are given an envelope of ten nouns and ten verbs where they are to combine the nouns and verbs in a manner that will help them to write their poem. After pairing the two up, the students use a brainstorming guide where they ask, "why, how, or where" does this action take place. This session closes by having the students compose their own poems using this brainstorming and the paired words. The final session is peer editing; the students pair up and use s prepared rubric to edit their peer's writing. The students are then encouraged to share their favorite word combinations from their peer's paper. The main form of assessment is through discussions of the topics at hand and the poem that the students write. I really liked the setup of this lesson because it was very well organized as well as placed important emphasis on being creative and unique in their approach to poetry. I think that students would enjoy this approach as opposed to literary analysis of a poem and memorization.
