WR 12: Writing a narrative poem

Using the sample poems studied in class today, "Eyeglasses" and "How to Like It", write a poem which uses narrative elements, concrete details, attention to structure (space/form), line break and sound. (alliteration, rhythm, rhyme, repetition, assonance, dissonance, etc)

Bring a typed copy to class on Wed. Sept. 12.
Tomorrow: Grade assembly
Wed: second half-photos

Friday: Bring three copies of a poem that you want your group to edit. Choose a poem that you are proud of (ie your precious ugly baby) but one that you want to improve.

Monday: Arrive with the three poems belonging to your group completely edited.

Every Tues (starting next week): Two poems (which meet the criteria) typed due for evaluation / feedback
