Tomorrow: Bring all four copies of your poems, re-edited and typed for peer editing. You must get all four poems edited by a partner. You will be using a rubric to help guide your suggestions and comments. Plus, use your criteria sheet and your own knowledge of modern poetry.
Monday's test: Open notebook. Make sure that you bring copies of the poems in the package. Re-read all of the poems to be prepared to answer questions.
Today's test: compare and contrast composition, two poems by Richard Lemm
Due Monday: All four typed good copies. A cover page. The cover page needs to have a name for the collection: Painting the Yellow House Blue or Alabama or Poems to Read with Your Cat.
Also, include, all of the copies of the poems edited by me, plus edits you made, plus the peer editing sheet. Staple it all together. Make sure that I know which poems are your good copies. Keep copies at home as you will need to print copies for the BCTELA contest. The deadline for that contest is Tuesday, April 30. You will have a cover sheet to attach as well which I will give you during tomorrow's class.
