You have definitely turned a corner if today's readings and the splendid presentation reflect your true abilities.
Sorry about any confusion regarding the two short poems. I promised the art class we'd have them ready by Nov. 1, which is tomorrow, yes, BUT, I want to make sure there is time for editing if you need it so please get me the poems today as soon as you can. I worked with Jackie and Gabe at recess and they have four spectacular entries. Very exciting. You can easily see amazing paintings unfolding from these works. Well done.
Harrison and Jackie, your lovely presentation on Crozier's work was inspiring and the exercise worked so well. You've inspired us all.
Welcome to Kaylaa!! We're delighted to have you join us. You might want to read previous blogs to see what we have been up to.
For Wed: type up and revise the poems / quick-writes that you created in class today. Use the Guppy editing sheet so that you are getting a lot of practice on the key ways to revise. Remember--revise houses another meaning: to re-vision!! While you edit, you find the heart of the poem (ITS VISION/VOICE/PURPOSE) and then you find the best SOUND for the poem (RHYTHM, RHYME, REPETITION, ASSONANCE, CONSONANCE, ALLITERATION ETC).
Wonderful class. Wish you could dress up every day. Vunder-full! Loving the bowler, Sena!
