Students shared some remarkable poems today!
Block 1 was on track enough that they were able to play with parts-of-speech game from last class, and get the lesson. Block 2 was divided in students' ability to focus.
Anyone who did not submit their poem in Teams, but would like credit for doing it, should bring it to tutorial on Monday. THEY SHOULD ALSO SUBMIT TODAY's IN TEAMS AND PRINT IT.
Students listened to Barabara Adler's "In the Time Before" and watched Shayne Koyczan's piece, "To This Day"
We looked at a number of poetic devices, and discussed what made the poems flow, and what helped with impact.
HMWRK: Create a 12+ line spoken word poem (no maximum). Give it a title. Use enjambment and rhyme for sure, and feel free to use any other devices that come to mind.
Possible topic: Things which are both ordinary and extraordinary at once.
SUBMIT THE POEM IN TEAMS AND BRING A HARD COPY TO CLASS
