Students shared some remarkable poems today!
We were able to play with parts-of-speech
game from last class, and students leaned about using hyphens to create compound adjectives.
Anyone who did not submit their poem in Teams, but would like credit for doing it, should bring it to tutorial on Tuesday. THEY SHOULD ALSO SUBMIT TODAY's POEM IN TEAMS AND PRINT IT.
Students listened to Barabara Adler's "In the Time Before" and watched Shayne Koyczan's piece, "To This Day"
We looked at a number of poetic devices, and discussed what made the poems flow, and what helped with impact.
HMWRK: Create a 12+ line spoken word poem (no maximum). Give it a title. Use enjambment and rhyme for sure, and feel free to use any other devices that come to mind.
Possible topic: Things which are both ordinary and extraordinary at once.
SUBMIT THE POEM IN TEAMS AND BRING A HARD COPY TO CLASS
