1) Warm Up: Learning Log (10 min)

1. Take out your learning log (TOC #4).
2. Complete the week 4 log.
3. *Star* your favorite type of learning log.

2) Lesson Plan: Iceberg of Identity

1. List identity communities with markers we can define ourselves and others by (ex: religion, socioeconomic status, familial relationships, gender).
2. On two sticky notes, list two communities that other people may label you as a member of (ex: middle class, North Carolinian, brother, skater, gamer, teen, female, etc).
3. On two more sticky notes, list two communities that you would either label yourself as that other people might not know/see OR two communities you would like to be a part of (ex: first generation college student, gay, Jewish, author, artist, engineer).
4. Post these on the iceberg to show if they are visible or nonvisible markers.
5. Debrief:
1. What types of identity markers are easier to see? Harder to see?
2. Did you find people who had similar identity markers to you? Different markers?
3. Why do you think we are spending time to do activities like this?

3) Literacy Block: Peer Evaluate and Publish

1. Complete the peer evaluation sheet with your partner. Include documented writing concerns, pluses and deltas, and illustrations.
2. Use the feedback from your partner to make revisions to your poem.
3. Begin to publish your poem. Remember to include illustrations and/or a border.

4) Closing Activity:

1. Check your planner and SMART goal. List what you need to do tonight.
2. Read to prepare for meeting your book club goal.
