To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield. - Ulysses

Thoughts on a Thursday:

Block A: Homework tonight is to choose your own poem to practice the TP-CASTT method of poetry analysis. Take this challenge to yourself to find a poem and really see if you can make your own meaning.

Block C: Yay! Presentations are done! Fabulous work one and all! We started our poetry inquiry unit today - and pondered: what makes great poetry? We completed a free write, shared our opinions and handed them in. I can't wait to read about what you think!

Block D: Hope my band goers had a great concert today! Here is what you missed in class: we challenged ourselves to use imagery, figurative language (alliteration, personification, simile) to paint a picture with words. Use the blue handout from yesterday to help you construct your double-spaced rough draft of your descriptive paragraph from your outline. We will complete the peer editing process tomorrow - so please have your completed draft in class. Don't forget our grammar quiz on nouns, verbs, pronouns and adjectives!
