English 9

Good work in the lab today. Remember--you will be creating/writing poems based on the poems you put into your anthologies so don't put anything in there that you do not really love or appreciate.

At the end of Tuesday's class, submit all 10 of your favourite poems. I am looking for variety in form and theme, concrete imagery, interesting use of language and imagination.

Use only the sites suggested on the criteria sheet and/or the poems in The Claremont Review.

Typing out the poems gives you a chance to absorb the sound and shapes of poetry--you want to train your ear and eye.

Homework: Work on the anthology. At the end of Tuesday's class, submit all 10 poems and then you can go on your trip. I've booked the lab for Tuesday if you need it. If not, you can get a USSR book finished.
