Please return your Mockingbird novel to the library and sign out a copy of Naming the Baby, and a poetry collection. You also need a copy of The Claremont Review from the shelf in the classroom. You should bring all three poetry texts to class each day. Be sure to complete a poetry log entry daily.
The Child Who Walks Backwards by Lorna Crozier
This poem did not photocopy well but if you google it, you will find a clear copy to read.
Today we created a "Lines I Like" page. Keep adding to that page. Each time you find a line, write it down. Today, we read aloud a series of great lines. If you were absent be sure to get the notes.
You should have a least 7 lines in your Lines I Like Page and 2 poetry entries in the log.
USSR FORMS ARE DUE ON MONDAY. NO LATES ACCEPTED UNLESS YOU ASK FOR AN EXTENSION IN ADVANCE.
Try to read a complete poetry book this week! Train your poetry brain. Start visualizing line breaks. Why does the poet break the line there? Could it be broken anywhere else?
