Establish a classroom atmosphere that celebrates the sharing of learning. Have opportunity for students to practice new learnings. Make student learning available to the larger community, i.e. books students write are shared with other classes, students report in school paper, student work is displayed at school, etc.

Sharing within groups and with entire class.

Objective: To share their individual responses to a shared feeling.

Activity: Groups reform to share and discuss how each student created a personal reaction to their common thinking. Groups then exchange poems. Ultimately, the whole class is involved in evaluating the important concepts of their generation and how the poetic form is a succinct and influential means of expressing the same.

Assessment: Group involvement; class participation.
