Today students read their personal novels.
We discussed the shape of the rest of January, including a poetry test on January 20th, and a final poetry piece due on January 25th.
We went over the entire alphabetical list of terms provided - it would seem a number of students missed some of these terms last year, so it would be worthwhile for them to review and study well in advance of the test later in the month.
Earlier in the week we listened to poems in Sarah Kay's Ted Talk . We also listened to Shayne Koyczan's
"To This Day" and examined Barabara Adler's poem "In the Time Before," for poetic devices and ideas that stood out throughout the piece.
Today, we looked at the use of rhythm in this Pluto Rap, and internal rhyme in this Dr. Seuss piece
For homework, students are to create AND SUBMIT TO THE ASSIGNMENT IN TEAMS a Spokenword Poem. It is to be 10+ lines, make use of end and internal rhyme, and contain at least one example of enjambment.
Students have guest speakers on Monday and Tuesday - this assignment is not due until 9pm on Tuesday night.
