Students should be working on their poem this weekend. This will be due at the end of next week. Remember, if you are choosing to mimic the style or themes of another poem, please bring the original to me first. Also, students should be looking for a poem to bring into the final exam, the same poem you will use to produce your 'Snap-Shot Poetry' exam assignment. Students should be reading all the poems in their poetry booklet tonight. Tomorrow you will work in groups to discuss connotative/denotative meaning, figurative language and style.
Poetry test will be next Tuesday. Today was our LAST debate!! Again, very well done!
