Abstract

The goal of the poetry unit was to enhance students’ written ability by analyzing a variety of poetic literature to answer advanced placements practice prompts. I used the following research-based instructional strategies: homework and practice, nonlinguistic representations, and cooperative learning. I used the following research-based assessment strategies: essay writing, Quizizz, exit ticket, and topic, evidence, and analysis responses. The standards that the unit addressed are: LA.12.RP.2 Analyze the development and interaction of literary elements such as characterization, setting, and plot, and how they contribute to the meaning of the work as a whole, LA.12.V.2 Interpret an author’s use of figurative, connotative, and technical language in grade-level literary and informational text and LA.12.V.2 Interpret an author’s use of figurative, connotative, and technical language in grade-level literary and informational text. The unit assessments prepared students for the advanced placement test. Overall, students demonstrated a deeper comprehension of poetry literary terms, as the average of accuracy increased from the pre-test, 75% to 87% in the post-test. Some limitations of the study include but are not limited to: Student attendance additionally, I was more lenient on the post-test Quizizz than the pre-test Quizizz.
