Eng 10: Manuscripts Due, Return the form, study for test

Arrive with your manuscripts. Have the four good copies in front and then all of your drafts. Label your drafts. Include a cover page with the title of your book and your name on the front.

PLEASE RETURN YOUR PERMISSION FORMS BY MONDAY FOR OUR BELFRY THEATRE TRIP. YOU MAY BRING THE 20.00 LATER IN THE MONTH IS YOU NEED TO. 

Comprehension Test: No USSR tomorrow. We will be reading a poem and answering a question in a formal, literary paragraph. Study the paragraphs you have already written. Review the literary must-haves list. Use the vocabulary in the paragraph wherever possible. STUDY. 

FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL.

If you did not hand in your "How Has Poetry Affected Me?" response yet, bring it in tomorrow. Be sure to use specific titles, authors, and examples from poems to prove your opinions. Some of the ideas you could consider addressing are poems you have enjoyed, your writing process, using your imagination, editing poetry, analyzing poetry, writing paragraph interpretations, how you now look at the world in a more metaphorical manner, whether you plan to take Writing 12 or other writing courses, whether you plan to publish, which poems you are most proud of writing etc. 

MAC LAB: IMOVIE 
Thankfully we have students in the class with some experience with the program, Imovie. Next week we are booked into the lab and we will all need to be patient with our learning curve as we experience putting our poetry into film. On Monday, you will be learning the basics of the program and you will begin to find pictures that you want to use in your movie. You will have to use google photos so if you have photos of your own, make sure they are accessible on google as you can't access your email in this lab. 

Choose a partner and choose a poem by Monday.
