What can we do to maximize our time and productivity during timed activities? How do we identify poetry from different eras? What can some of the devices used in poetry tell us about when their authors might have been writing? Other considerations (modifications, accommodations, acceleration, etc.): Students who require it will receive extended deadlines for writing assignments and/or shortened reading. Connections (prior learning/prior knowledge): Using examples from our recent FRQs we will explore what was done well and why, and what can be improved upon. Students will also use some of their historical knowledge to help identify things that were going on during different artistic eras.
