Sample Page with Take 5 Activities
Here is the page from the book that accompanies Sara Holbrook's poem, "Fear Factor." These "Take 5" activities offer suggestions for how to share the poem with students (and weaves in a standards-based skill activity in step #4).
LOVE your staging ideas for this poem. I might also suggest that the students voicing "courage" experiment with voice dynamics...is the voice strong, or a whisper? Does it echo? Performance is where we get to lay an extra layer of meaning on a poem.
