English 11: Creative Writing, Poetry

Yesterday, we discussed the literary must-haves and how important it is to proofread your work. The bar rises in term 2 as we prepare you for English 12. You will be disappointed with your marks if you continue to make the same errors.


Today: Bring your USSR book only to class as we have a special poetry presentation to celebrate National Poetry Month. Three poets will read to us: Jay Ruzesky, Wendy Morton, and Carla Funk. Be inspired.

You will be requested to write a response to the event so listen for favourite lines, how they introduce their poems, etc. You will need to have specific examples in your response. 

If you missed Tuesday's poetry test, stay after school today to write it.
