Block A: Hopefully you're thinking about the poem that you are going to recite to the class on Thursday next week!
Today, we started the process of our culminating assignment for poetry: The Great Poetry Composition. You will write a 4 paragraph composition explaining what you have learned about what great poetry is and why this poem is an example of it. I demonstrated what it looks like to label a poem to break down the parts of it - then turned the rest of the class over to you. Your challenge is to choose a poem (of at least 14 lines) that you think is an example of truly great poetry. Once you have chosen the poem copy it down (or print it off) and label your poem just like I did on the overhead projector - I'll be checking your poem on Tuesday.
Blocks B&D: Our further investigation of "Identities" continues! If you haven't finished the questions regarding the literary techniques of the author, please do so for Tuesday. Additionally, you will need to complete the making connections chart and summary of the TED talk that we watched by Chimamanda Adichie.
Have a great long weekend everybody!
