Monday: Meet in the language lab. Bring drafts that you are working on. Bring questions. This block is your time to work on the two poems which are due on We. Oct 5. Every day 1 now means two typed poems due. Review the poem criteria. You may use pieces from any of the exercises/assigments we've done in class. You may not re-submit poems that I have already marked.
You are always welcome to submit poems for editing. Just write PLEASE EDIT on the top of the poem. All poems for editing must be typed.
Make sure you and your partner have all the books you need for your poetry presentation. You may use some of the day 9 language lab time to work together.
Today with all the 11s away I didn't introduce new concepts but we did write two poems in class. See me to pick up the handout. We used National Geographic magazines to write praise poems about objects, animals, cities or words.
PATRICK LANE WILL BE HERE ON WED. OCT 5. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE. IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED, YOU ARE TOO LATE AND YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE UP TH EREADING BY ATTENDING ANOTHER READING OUTSIDE OF CLASS TIME. Your Patrick Lane response is due the next day so be sure to take notes during the reading. You will need to respond to his poems and to his advice about writing. Please bring your poetry questions to class so you can engage him in a discussion that is meaningful to you.
Thanks.
