I'm marking all of the death poems and each one is absolutely spectacular so keep up the spirit of the imagination in the poem you plan to complete this weekend.
Tuesday: Submit poem # 3. It could be from any of the following or a new one you create: 1. the anthology imitation poem 2. the Sherman Alexie braid poem imitation or 3. the National Geographic poem, In the photo . . . from last week.
They must be typed. Save your first draft in a safe place so you can revise easily.
The anthology is due on the 10th but I think we'll have to move the date to Friday, Oct. 12. in order to complete all the drafts and the revisions.
Next week we will be in the MAC lab to turn these poems into films. Start gathering songs and high resolution photos. We're going to use still photos to create our poems for this project.
When the films are ready we will load them onto my youtube account so we'll be able to see each other's poem videos.
Next, we'll choose an evening to come to the school library, invite friends and family and show the films and read your poems to the audience.
Finally, we will send your poems to contests and magazines to ensure your voices are heard world wide.
