Supplies: notebook, writing utensil, & BYOT

Daily Objective: LAFS.1112.RL.3.7: To learn how to understand and compose poetry.

Bell-Ringer: “Cleaning House” Is there “junk” in your life? What kind? How do you get rid of it?

Activity: 

1. Write a third poem using a form of your choice. You can find various forms here: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/collection/poetic-forms. If you choose to do a shorter form like haiku, you will have to write more than one poem. You need to write at least ten lines. (And no, blank lines in between stanzas don’t count.) Choice poems are due Friday at the end of class.
2. Next week, you will choose one of your three poems to critique. You will then copy it onto a nice piece of paper and illustrate it. This final copy will be a summative, due 10/7.

Homework:

1. The final draft of your story is PAST DUE.
2. Sonnets are PAST DUE.
