1 CAPTURE YOUR INSPIRATION Poetry Creation and Revision By Mr. Deyo

2 LEARNING TARGET By the end of the period, I will demonstrate active listening and will describe the language the author uses to present an idea. I will demonstrate this by asking and answering relevant questions with prompting and moderate support. (ELD Section 2 Part 1, Strands 5-8 CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy RL.7, RI.8)

3 WRITE DOWN YOUR IDEAS WHEN THEY COME TO YOU You need to be aware of when inspiration happens. It will never return to you in the same way. The essence of each inspiration is unique.

4 December 2015 You Find What You Look For Someone told me Seek and ye shall find A smile or a frown Each choice can go up or down Each moment you choose To be happy or sad To be open or closed To strive for improvement Or wallow in apathy How does water rise to the sky? It must expand to rise It must contract to fall You can seek the positive and rise Or you can seek the negative and fall Perception is based on location Location of the bias within you If you look through the prism You might find the chasm You can choose to accept or reject You can choose not to choose Not choosing is a choice, too The choice is yours for you alone You can t choose for others They choose for themselves Your way may not be their way You love them anyway You learn to accept their choice For they did not choose for you So you can not choose for them

5 ASK FOR REVIEW & SUGGESTION Another perspective might unlock new ideas for you. Time away can give you fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. Learn conventions & structures so you can manipulate them to better express your inspiration. (ie. Rhyme Schemes, Syllable Counts)

6 February 2016 Look For El Buscador (Version 2) Someone told me Seek and ye shall find A smile or a frown Each choice can go up or down Each moment you choose To be happy or sad To be open or closed To strive for improvement Or wallow in apathy How does water rise to the sky? It must expand to rise It must contract to fall You can seek the positive and rise Or you can seek the negative and fall Angels or demons Hope or despair What do we find In our own mind? Seek and ye shall find The closed or open kind To rise or fall You make the call Agua en el cielo Me pega la cara Las gotas se caen a mí? O me levanto a la nube?

7 February 2016 Look For El Buscador (Version 2) Perception is based on location Location of the bias within you If you look through the prism You might find the chasm You can choose to accept or reject You can choose not to choose Not choosing is a choice, too The choice is yours for you alone Percepción en el alma Prejuicio en tí mismo Si miras por el prizma Encuentras el abismo Choose to accept Choose to reject Choose not to choose You alone win or lose

8 Feb Look For El Buscador (Version 4) You can t choose for others They choose for themselves Your way may not be their way You love them anyway You learn to accept their choice For they did not choose for you So you can not choose for them No power over others They choose for themselves Your way is your way But not their way You love them anyway They don t choose for you You can t choose for them Accept the choices In each other s voices

9 REVISE WITHOUT COMPROMISE Always try to keep your original inspiration in mind when revising. After each revision, ask yourself if you are still expressing what you want to. Sometimes the new product inspires you even more than the original.

10 March 2016 Look For El Buscador (Version 5) Angels or demons Hope or despair What do we find In our own mind? Seek and ye shall find The closed or open kind To rise or fall You make the call Si escalas la montaña O te caes en el valle No importa si eres Del campo o de la calle Percepción en el alma Prejuicio en tí mismo Si miras por el prizma Encuentras el abismo Choose to accept Choose to reject Choose not to choose You alone win or lose No power over others They choose for themselves Your way is your way But not their way You love them anyway They don t choose for you You can t choose for them Accept the choices In each other s voices Mi casa es tu casa Mucha gente sin casa Riqueza, pobreza o fresa Todos somos la misma raza I pledge allegiance We spawn defiance Be careful what you wish for Segunda Inspección is a two way stop Ask a person where they are from And see both sides of the border No importa la tierra El horizonte sin límite Pregunta a la gente Sobre fronteras en su mente Is your life real or show? Only you will know What you will find In your own mind
