I collected the Cherries paragraphs and returned the poetry anthologies today.
We did two poetry writing exercises today and the homework is to type one of them up as a poem which follows our criteria list.
The next homework is to visit http://www.youngpoets.ca/ and find the samples of past winners of their contest and arrive in class prepared to explain why they won. Notice the criteria they use for the winners. Claremont grade 9s have won this contest many times. The deadline is Sat. so we'll have to do a good job editing our poems over the next two days.
