Clearly you can do ANYTHING! Lucky world to have you all here.
Today: We did the vocab. test 1-60 and we read chapter 5 in Animal Farm and post-it noted. This chapter is pivotal. Be sure to read it slowly.
We went over the poetry manuscript criteria, your four best poems.
Please include:
A cover page with a title for you manuscript and poems by .... and your name.
Include at least one edited draft per good copy.
Left justify each poem.
Left justify the title.
Do not use bold or underline the title.
If you are using an epigraph, italicize it, no quotation marks, put the author's name underneath the epigraph like this, dash and name: -- Lorna Crozier
Homework: Make sure that you have handed in four poems for me to edit.
Revise these poems so that they meet the criteria listed on the sheet.
Next week we will be sending off your poems to the BCTELA and to The Claremont Review and to the Jessamy Strusberg national contest.
If you wish to also enter The Claremont Review contest, you will need a cheque for 20.00 made out to The Claremont Review. $20:00 gives you a chance to win 1,000, plus a one-year subscription to the magazine. For 25.00, you may also submit your short story.
