English 9, Thurs. April 21

Finish a USSR book this weekend. USSR forms for April are due Monday, May 2. NO LATES ACCEPTED.

Poetry Manuscripts are due Friday, April 29 BUT you must bring all four typed drafts to class Wed. April 27 for peer editing. Get those drafts completed this weekend. Be sure to follow the criteria. Tuesday, you will have time in class to write.

Cut out cliched words. Ensure you choose interesting details. Choose a symbolic title that invites the reader in. Make the setting and action clear so your reader does not have to guess. Use the techniques we've been learning for maximum effect: personification, juxtaposition, repetition, allusion, metaphor and simile.
