English 12: Read the Crozier poem on page 7 and complete the paragraph

We had a test on 12 literary terms used in Owen's poem. Be sure you know the terms we have accomplished so far.

Today, we read "The Child Who Walks Backwards". We added several new terms to our list: enjambement, juxtaposition, personification, metaphor, and oxymoron.

Borrow the notes from a friend as we covered three boards full.

Question: In a formal, literary paragraph of 250 to 350 words, demonstrate how Crozier uses poetic devices (choose three) to reveal her attitude toward child abuse.

Be sure to state what the attitude toward child abuse is in your thesis.
Focus on correcting whatever error was most dominant in your "Dulce et Decorum Est" paragraph.

Homework: Using your textbook only, find all of the poems needed for your anthology project.
