Your assignment is to write an "I Don't Understand" poem, found in your poetry packet. Before you begin typing it up, brainstorm on a piece of scratch paper all of the many and unusual things that you don't understand about an issue. I want you to list all of the big ideas that baffle you (world hunger, waiting for cures, pollution, bullying) Choose one topic that really speaks to your heart or that you are familiar with. Now, include examples of this topic, scribble down who this effects (stakeholders), why it exists, and how this effects yourself and others (friends, world leaders, animals, plants, children around the world). Use these notes to guide you and give you ideas as you write your poem. Your poem should address a major issue. Think about what constitutes a major issue according to our William and Mary Gifted Unit studies. Does it have many stakeholders, have multiple resources available to research, address a major issue that is important to more people than just yourself? You should have AT LEAST 9 examples or facts to back it up. If you can't think of that many on your own, do some additional research online. What do others have to say about it? On line 4 you need to provide a counter point or opposing view!!!
