Lesson Plan


Individual Lesson Plan


Standards and Objectives:

ELA10RL1  The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e.,
examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and
main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short
story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis
for interpretation

The student identifies and analyzes elements of poetry and provides evidence from the text to
support understanding; the student:
a. Identifies, responds to, and analyzes the effects of diction, syntax, sound, form,
figurative language, and structure of poems as these elements relate to meaning.



As a result of this lesson/unit, students will Know (facts, vocabulary), Understand (concepts), and/or be able to DO (skills):
Know: Students will know what poetry is and will be able to define tone and imagery.
Understand: Students will understand how tone and imagery affect the meaning of a poem.
Be Able To Do:  Students will be able to effectively read poetry with understanding.

Essential Question(s):

Who is T.S. Eliot?

What is Imagery? What are the different types of Imagery?

What is Tone? How is tone conveyed?

What is mood? How is it different from tone?

Adaptations/Modifications:
I don’t think I would have to adapt this too much, since it mainly involves basic poetry topics and coloring. However, since T.S. Eliot is complicated poetry, I would have inclusion or remedial students read an easier poem using the same strategies (“The Red Wheelbarrow” by William Carlos Williams).
