I Am Poem

I Am Poem

I am what I feel.

I wonder about the mystery of life.

I hear my heart.

I see what's hidden.

I want to be written in God's sheets.

I am what I feel.

I pretend to be a bee (making honey to your mouth).

I feel the present time.

I touch my other side. 

I worry about my dreams die.
I cry when you cry.
I hope humanity comes together.
I am what I feel.

I  understand my mistakes.
I say a prayer.
I dream a soft dream.
I try a poem.
I hope humanity comes together.
I am what I feel.

Book: Turtle in the Sea – Jim Arnosky

Objectives:

Content Objective: Students will be able to understand how is the way of life: birth, the hardships of life and reproduction.

Language Objective: Students will be able to re-tell the narrative, orally using sequence words: first, next, then, after that, finally. Also they will use responding questions with who, what, when, where, why and how.

Activate background knowledge: Students will create a large word web on the board to write down what they know about the sea.

Introduce new vocabulary: jellyfish, shore, shell, coral reef, shark, coral cave, ships, and hatchings.

Strategy of introduction of new vocabulary: The teacher shows pictures of the vocabulary words and attaches them on the board. The teacher says one word and a student goes to the board and takes the picture. If it`s correct the student will win a prize if it`s wrong the teacher will call another student.

Picture walk: The teacher will show the cover of the book and ask to the students: “What can you see?”, “Look… There are fish here.”, “Where do they live?”, “What is this animal?”, “It is a turtle. She is trying to save herself.”, “What is that?” “It`s a ship.”, “What happened?”, “Well, it`s the sunset. Let`s observe the turtle`s face. Is she frightened?”, “Why?” “Wow! Look at this net! What is going to happen?”, “Who is that man?”, “Is he good or bad?”, “ Why?”...

Obs.: According to the context, these questions can be changed.

An extra activity: Enjoying one of the texts of the book, the teacher can purpose that the students repeat the bold words and imitate the sound of the sea.

The shark bit her shell,

but she escaped by diving

and hiding in a coral cave.

There she stayed, holding her breath

until the shark finally swam away.

Her shell was scarred.

Her back was sore.

She never again drifted

on the surface close to shore.
