After completing
your bell ringer of a five minute free write we will be leaving the classroom

permit we will find a space inside the school). (S/T)
- Students will be asked to look at their surroundings for 3
minutes, and then write for two minutes about the things they noticed.
- Students will be asked to close their eyes and listen to their
surroundings for 3 minutes, and then write for two minutes about the
things they heard.
- Students will be asked to sit with their eyes closed and feel the
things immediately around them (i.e. turf, clothing, benches, the breeze
on their skin, etc.) for 3 minutes, and then write for two minutes about
the things they felt.
- Students will be asked to sit with their eyes close and smell
their surroundings for 3 minutes, and then write about what they smelt for
two minutes.

activity can help with creativity.
Assign homework.
If time activity
- Students can begin working on homework.
Homework
Students are to revise
and edit their “Senses” poem, type it up and prepare to share it with the class
next class period.
Lesson Reflection
As this was a small class the activity was easy to implement. With a larger class this would be much harder to accomplish. I would consider doing the activity in the classroom, or in another classroom in the school, for a larger class to help maintain order.
Overall students seemed to enjoy the activity, the discussed how focusing on one specific sense helped them to notice things they normally would not. This was extremely evident in the creativity of the poems they each created.
