Breathe Life into Poetry

Mindful Breathing for Focus

1. Begin by instructing students to find a comfortable seated position, with their feet flat on the floor and hands resting in their laps.

2. Ask them to gently close their eyes or lower their gaze to minimize distractions.

3. Guide the students to take a deep breath in through their nose, feeling their lungs expand, and hold it for a moment.

4. Instruct them to slowly exhale through their mouth, letting go of any tension or distractions.

5. Encourage them to focus on their breath, noticing the rise and fall of their chest with each inhalation and exhalation.

6. After a few breaths, prompt them to visualize a beautiful scene in nature, perhaps a serene mountain or a tranquil river, and connect that feeling of peace with their breathing.

7. Continue this practice for about 5-7 minutes, periodically reminding them to return their focus to their breath if their mind begins to wander.

8. Conclude by inviting them to slowly open their eyes and take a moment to reflect on how they feel.

Contextualización del Contenido

Understanding figurative language in poetry is much like recognizing the emotions in our daily interactions. Just as a friend’s smile can convey happiness or a frown can indicate sadness, poems use metaphors, similes, and personifications to express complex emotions and ideas. For instance, consider the metaphor of a 'heart of stone'—this not only describes an emotional state of coldness but also evokes feelings of isolation and sadness. By exploring figurative language, students can connect their emotions with poetic expressions, enriching their appreciation of both literature and their own experiences. In the Peruvian context, where storytelling is deeply rooted in culture, students can appreciate how poets from their land use these devices to reflect societal feelings and personal journeys, bridging their own emotions with those of others.

Duración: (60 - 75 minutes)

Guía Teórica

Duración: (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Figurative Language in Poetry: This encompasses various literary devices that poets use to convey deeper meanings and emotions, such as metaphors, similes, and personifications.

2. Metaphors: These are direct comparisons between two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'. For example, saying 'Time is a thief' suggests that time can steal moments from our lives. In Peruvian poetry, such comparisons can express profound emotional connections between nature and human experiences.

3. Similes: These are comparisons using 'like' or 'as'. An example might be 'Her smile is like sunshine', which evokes warmth and brightness. Students can find relatable examples in popular songs or local poetry that resonates with their experiences.

4. Personifications: This is when human traits are attributed to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. For instance, 'The wind whispered through the trees' gives life to nature, evoking a sense of intimacy with the environment. In Peruvian poetry, personification often reflects the cultural significance of nature in storytelling.

5. Understanding the Emotional Impact: Analyzing how these devices enhance emotional depth helps students connect with the text on a personal level, recognizing how poets communicate complex feelings through their choices of language.

Actividad con Retroalimentación Socioemocional

Duración: (15 - 20 minutes)

Poemas em Movimento

In this activity, students will work in small groups to create a short poem using at least two forms of figurative language. They will brainstorm themes that resonate with their experiences, such as friendship, nature, or cultural identity, and incorporate rich imagery and emotional depth. After writing, each group will present their poem to the class, explaining the figurative language they used and the emotions they aimed to evoke. This collaborative effort will foster both creative expression and social skills.

1. Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.

2. Give each group 10 minutes to brainstorm a theme for their poem.

3. Instruct them to create a poem that uses at least two forms of figurative language (metaphors, similes, personifications).

4. Allow groups 15-20 minutes to write their poems. Encourage them to discuss the emotions they want to convey through their language choices.

5. After writing, assign 1-2 minutes for each group to present their poem to the class, along with an explanation of their chosen figurative language.

Discusión y Retroalimentación Grupal

After the presentations, the teacher will facilitate a group discussion to encourage socioemotional feedback. Begin by asking students to recognize the emotions they felt while listening to their peers' poems. This can be done by prompting them with questions such as, 'How did the imagery make you feel?' or 'What emotions did you recognize in your classmates' work?'. This step emphasizes the emotion recognition aspect of the RULER method.

Next, guide students to understand why certain figurative language choices resonated emotionally. Discuss the effects of metaphors and similes in creating vivid imagery or evoking memories. Teachers should encourage students to label these emotions accurately and express their thoughts respectfully, fostering an environment of empathy and understanding. Finally, provide strategies for regulating any overwhelming emotions, such as taking deep breaths or sharing supportive feedback with peers.

Conclusión

Duración: (15 - 20 minutes)

Reflexión y Regulación Emocional

Conduct a reflective discussion where students share their experiences during the lesson. Ask them questions such as, 'What challenges did you face while creating your poems?' or 'How did you feel when presenting your work to the class?' Encourage them to think about how they managed those emotions, such as feeling nervous or excited, and what strategies they used to cope, like taking deep breaths or seeking support from their peers. This can also be supplemented by a written reflection where they jot down their experiences and feelings in a journal format.

Objetivo: The objective of this subsection is to promote self-assessment and emotional regulation by helping students identify effective strategies for coping with challenging emotional situations. By reflecting on their experiences during the lesson, students can enhance their self-awareness and self-management skills, recognizing the emotions they felt and how they navigated them.

Visión del Futuro

To conclude the lesson, challenge students to set personal goals related to their understanding of figurative language and improve their poetic expression. They can aim to read one poem a week, write a poem in their free time, or share their thoughts on a poem with friends or family. This encourages them to think about how they can apply what they've learned in authentic contexts, fostering a continuous connection with literature.

Establecimiento de Metas:

1. Read a new poem each week to widen their understanding of figurative language.

2. Write at least one poem per month incorporating figurative language.

3. Share their favorite poem with a friend or family member and discuss its emotional impact. Objetivo: The objective of this subsection is to strengthen students' autonomy and encourage the practical application of what they learned about figurative language in poetry. By setting personal and academic goals, students can take ownership of their learning journey, ensuring that the skills and insights gained during this lesson carry forward into other areas of their lives.
