Writer's Notebook: How do you feel about poetry? What kind of poetry do you like? What do you dislike about poetry?
I passed back the summer reading essays. Common errors like embedding quotes and formatting citations will be reviewed in class tomorrow. Students should plan to attend tutorials if they have questions about their essay, and they may revise the essay for up to half the points back. Revisions must be turned in on Classroom by Tuesday, 2/16. Remember to hand in the original essay and rubric!
We recapped the literary elements activities from last week, and students discussed how they came to their decisions about each element. It was interesting to see how differently each class processed the stories and elements.
We reviewed poetry elements and devices (blue book pages 770-775). Students worked in groups to examine rhythm, rhyme, imagery, and figurative language in two poems (pages 776-777). They picked a third poem that they will analyze tomorrow.
