International National Poetry and Fiction Genre Project

Poetry project Instructions

For this Project my Language Arts teacher wants this poetry project to be written in a narrative form meaning into an essay. The Country my teacher assigned me was Mexico. For the standards I want to be from the Scope and Sequence Social studies and either 3rd or 4th grade will be fine. I will attach the poetry format in the file section, I will also attach the poetry forms example she said we can choose when we have to create our own one. Down below is the link to the scope and sequence standards I want you to use for either 3rd or 4th grade.

Part 1 : International Poem : Title and Description

You would be looking at place, where it took place, where the author lives,

What was happening in the time period

What was happening in the authors poets life

Will show if that poetry was influenced by all of those aspects

Get background of poet first

In a narrative you are writing it into an essay,

Research articles or a book ( it can be either), an article a children would use from the outside

Different kinds of format you can teach your children

Part 2 : Analysis of American Poem

Find an American poem and poet

How would you teach a lesson

Grade level either 3rd or 4th grade

Part 3: Fictional Genre

What if the legend or tale/ myth does not describe the country you was given ( Mexico)

Explain why it doesn’t connect example teacher said in class: If poet comes from Paris, myth or legend that comes from France does not talk but more of the person that’s in it,

Explain what both of them have, explain what both do not have

Legend that does not talk about a place, explain what 1 has and what the other one has

You will contrast it if they don’t share similarities

Legend or myth

Part 4: Comparison of international poem and genre

So if the message is similar the poem and the genre, fictional genre, ex: maybe both of them talk about caring and loving

Maybe it talks about people and relationships

If it works all easily compare all 3 the American the international and the fictional

Create a rubric for this project, if you were teaching a class, one that would evaluate the essential points of the genre and the overall comparisons of the students.

Would you assessed their connection, writing, the imaginative aspects of their writing

Create a rubric that you might create if you were teaching it to a class.

You would have to imagine the project and then come up with a rubric

International poet is social studies,

Take look at the scope and sequence standards,

Example: 3rd grade studies communities around the world

Part 5: Write a poem in any format you choose:

It has to be decorative

Scan the poem you created

Add social studies standards that relate to the poem you have created

Bilography ( reference page of the articles that I can access that support my research and 1 book that I will be able to access it as well.
