Bring copies of your poem for workshop. You will not have time to print at the beginning of class so print before you arrive. My room is open early. Cost is ten cents per page to print. Pass your poems to your group at the beginning of class.
Carla Funk responses are due Monday.
PLEASE RETURN YOUR PERMISSION FORMS FOR THE BELFRY THEATRE TRIP.
Organize tickets for this weekend's festival. You will love it.
Choose one of the poems that I returned to you today and prepare a reading for the class. How did Patrick Lane read his poems? Watch Carla tomorrow and notice how she reads. How did Brittany and Courtney read Ruzesky's poetry today? I want to see how well you can read your work to a group. We will have a lot of time to practice our oral reading skills before you begin reading to various audiences. We will start our library readings in November, as you know. During December, you will be reading to other classes at Claremont. We are also planning a trip to SMUS to read with their classes.
Two poems due Tuesday. Next week we have two author presentations. Thanks again to today's presenters. It was brilliant!!
