I am planning for my first three days of supervised teaching in a high school classroom. My cooperating teacher instructed me I will be teaching poetry but left everything else open. I am trying to find a funny clip from a movie or tv show about poetry to engage students but all I keep coming up with is in a different language (when you google "funny poem clip" or funny poetry anything really) I was wondering if anyone could think of a movie or tv show they have seen which has a humorous scene having to do with poetry in it that the students would find interesting and help to spark their interest in the unit. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the advice so far, but while my cooperating teacher (CT) left this "open" she did say she wanted me to focus on having the students analyze (I suppose I should have mentioned this =/) this is also an A.P. Literature class and the teacher is somewhat set in her ways so I am thinking I need to stick with "classics". I have some ideas for my lessons (however I could always use a good idea for another poem to teach as I am lacking in that area right now) but right now I'm just looking for an opener or a hook to draw the students in...some sort of clip from a movie or tv show which they are familiar with and will connect with.
