Students had guest presenters the past two days, but today we are up and running!
They read their personal novels.
Students shared their spoken word poems in groups, and then out with the larger class.
-We watched an awful Katy Perry video, and took apart the lyrics looking for bad metaphors, questionable similes, forced rhyme, and mismatched allusions (ie: it is set in Egypt, but she talks about Aphrodite, who is a Greco-Roman Goddess).
-Students then read Robert Burns' "Red, Red Rose" for contrast. They labelled the rhyme scheme, and began to look for poetic devices, including metaphors, similes, and hyperbole.
