🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students compare and contrast poetry and prose, examining how lines differ from sentences and how stanzas are kind of like paragraphs. They go on to create a script in which Poetry and Prose meet each other for the first time and have a conversation.
Steps
-
Students compare and contrast lines of poetry with sentences from prose.
-
They compare and contrast stanzas with paragraphs.
-
Then (using their ideas from steps 1 and 2), students create "topics" that Poetry and Prose could discuss if they met at a party.
