Free write
There will be more, but the requirements will depend on if we get to Poetry in time or not... so I will update you soon with the rest.
Update: Choose two of the poems we have discussed in class and write about them. They do not have to be 250 words YET, but give it a good try... one and two sentences will NOT work for these responses. ALSO, tell me what poetic devices were found in the poem (the term AND the example, please).
These requirements will be graded on Skyward as "T3 Blog 1: Writing"
Update 2: I was asked to post a list of the poems we have looked at so far in class (This list is accurate to the poems we have discussed, not the ones we left to discuss the next class period). Remember, each of these poems are open for interpretation. As long as I can see how your interpretation fits the poem, you will be fine. Don't be afraid to state your opinion, just back it up from the lyrics.
