Equality

Teaching high school English students about equality through poetry can be an effective way to engage them in critical thinking and creative expression. By integrating the concept of equality into the structure of poetry, students can learn how consistent poetic forms help convey meaning.

Students I'll deliver this topic to:

High school English students
Students would have be capable of paying attention during the lesson at this point in schooling
Boys: teach them to channel their aggression and feelings into writing poetry. Girls: teach them to express themselves through writing poetry.
Students have read poetry before at this age so they would be able to relate that to this experience of creating their own poetry.
I would focus on the students ZPD in order to help them write their own poetry
Formal Operational level

Equality affects problem solving
