Lesson Plan

Writing Fix: One Minute in Time Poems

Curated by ACT

The Cure's song "10:15 on a Saturday Night" explains what happens in one slowed-down minute as the singer is waiting for an important phone call, while also utilizing some catchy onomatopoeia to emphasize the seconds ticking by. In this lesson, students will choose their own moment in time to slow down and use onomatopoeia to emphasize the passing of time as they write their own free-verse poems.
