Lesson Topic
Vocabulary and Amanda Gorman Poetry
Lesson Outline
Vocabulary.com practice on instructional level words (based on Lexile level from baseline data) - identified 18/20 in context using "word in the wild" feature. Next, we read "Fury and Faith" by Amanda Gorman. We listened to Amanda read it, then Ayden skimmed it for unknown words: cease*, despair, destructive*, reactionary, dominance*, dignity, prevail*, restoration*, fatigued, fortified*, envision*, magnanimous, modest. (Words with a * he was able to guess their meaning/a synonym when put into another sentence for context). Then, we responded to summary questions, and more specific questions about phrase meaning within the poem.

Lesson Comments
The poetry choice used some metaphor and symbolism. Primarily, it has face value meaning I expected would be at instructional level for Ayden to finding meaning within. He did a good job! He struggled to articulate in his own words as we summarized and required support for this part of the activity. I dictated his verbal responses in the document.
