mins)
·
Read the expectations handout, the rubric, and the questions as a class – highlight as
we go what you will need to remember

Write at least one question on the page
·
Q and A session with me about TPOL
Categories Brainstorm
(10 mins)
·
Go over categories, give models of a few
others with the ‘as a’ as a generative
prompt – as a brother, as a leader, as a maker, etc.
·
Students generate as many other categories as
they can, write the best ones on the board
·
Students write their favorites on the assignment
sheet to broaden the concepts they can work from
Content and Metaphor Hooks Brainstorm
Modeling
·
Give students example of a content
category: as a project designer
o
Discuss ways that you could apply the focusing
question to this category
·
Give a simile prompt to help them develop a hook
– Creating original projects is like …
o
Having a baby
o
Painting on a canvas
o
Forging new paths in the jungle
·
Take them through an extended metaphor example…
My own:
®
Teaching
freshmen this year has been like growing a garden
Subsidiaries:
®
Water, nutrients, sunlight=my content and
project ideas
®
Each planted seed becomes its own plant
®
A diverse garden is better than monoculture!!!
®
We are harvesting and soon will feast on the
rewards of this fertile journey
1. What is his or her
hook/theme/metaphor?
2. How did presenter
address focusing question?
3. What evidence did
presenter use?
Brainstorm
·
Students choose
either content or hook/metaphor or
both to work on
·
Go over brainstorm possibilities – list,
outline, web, talking (outside) etc.
·
Students choose their own format for
brainstorming and spend time brainstorming their speech.
Write your hook today!
WORK TIME!!!!
