I need a few items

If you would like to use poetry and multimodal resources to enrich an inquiry about the house, the objects in the house, the way we spend money, or consumerism in general, I invite you to consider this poem, which is an excerpt from the documentary titled “Minimalism“.

A few lesson plan ideas are located after the video.

If you liked this resource, what do you think you will need to do before using it?

  • What vocabulary will you need to help students retrieve?
  • What questions can you ask them to trigger engagement?
  • Is there anything you may need to pre-teach?
  • How would you strategize the use of the inquiry questions?
  • What possible generalizations / statements of inquiry would his resource align with?
