1 Poetry Rocks Schools lesson plans can be implemented in both middle school and high school. These lessons are created to offer instructors a variety of approaches when employing poetry and prose as a reading/writing prompt, a general lesson, a cross-curricular exercise, a diversion from a standard approach, or even as an ACT/SAT preparation exercise. Created to meet the Common Core State Standards that involve Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation, the objectives and concepts are determined and developed by the instructor as one selects approaches that comply and/or compliment required material. Because our credibility lies in the uniqueness and personality of the instructor, our approach to making poetry rock facilitates many grade levels, subjects, and learning potentials of the students in the classroom.

2 Poem Acquainted with the Night - by Robert Frost I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. Robert Frost, "Acquainted with the Night" from The Poetry of Robert Frost, edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Copyright 1964, 1970 by Leslie Frost Ballantine.

3 POETRY ROCKS SCHOOLS SONG Acquainted with the Night I've been one acquainted with the night. I walked out in rain and back in rain. I ve outwalked the furthest city light. I've been one acquainted with the night. Call me if you want to feel me. Call me. I looked down the saddest city lane. I passed by the watchman on his beat, and dropped my eyes unwilling to explain. I stood still and stopped the sound of feet. Call me if you want to feel me. Call me. Not to call me back or say good-bye, and further still, at an unearthly height, one luminary clock against the sky. Whoa Call me if you want to feel me. Call me. Call me if you want to heal me, Call me if you want to feel me. Call me Poetry Rocks Classrooms.
