Poetry Test Thursday
Be sure to re-read the poems discussed during class. Be able to answer questions on their themes. You will be reading two poems and writing a compare / contrast paragraph.
The poems discuss the Palestinian / Israeli conflict so read this short piece in order to have the background knowledge needed:
Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Also, make sure you know the terms Jew, Jewish, Muslim, Arab.
Today: I collected the first typed poem for your manuscript.
Each day this week, submit a typed poem. You may choose any subject matter but the criteria must be met so follow the sheet. Imitate the poems we have been studying and the ones in your response journal. Imitate the poems that were read to you last Thurs. for national poetry month.
If you were absent today, sign out a copy of Lord of the Flies and read the first 10 pages. Copy the notes from a friend.
Manuscript due Monday.
Tonight type up poem number two.
