In yesterday's class, we discussed what an ODE really is, and looked at a variety of examples:
- A Classical ode
- Ode as a veiled critique, but still embodying praise
- Ode as a modern celebration of simple/humble things - as they are great
- Tips for writing an ode
Today's
poem (and the last one) is an Ode. As per the links above, there is no specific
expectation around the poem, other than it use poetic devices, praise
something (or a group of related things), and be 20+ lines long (Odes
can be VERY long pieces, so this is a minimum, not a maximum
requirement).
Today, students received their final poetry project.
Next class will be about sharing odes, and then working on projects, and studying for Friday's Poetry Quest
Friday the 20th - Quest involves matching examples to terms (from alphabetized terms sheet) and labelling rhyme scheme.
Monday the 23rd - work period.
Tuesday the 24th - work period.
Wednesday the 25th - half period for work - gallery walk - handing-in of final projects.
PLEASE NOTE: It is expected that students use class time well. If they have completed their project work, they may read a novel, or do final work for their other classes - they may not sit on phones.
