The End is Near...

Students were asked to analyze the song lyrics/poems they brought in a few weeks ago, as practice for the unit test which Miss Innes will be giving next week.

Then, Miss Innes spent some time talking about free verse poetry, and students were given an example of a free verse poem.

Finally, Miss Innes handed out the expectations for the final poetry project: the poetfolio.  Students were asked to bring supplies to class on Friday, so they can work on this poetfolio, which is due next Tuesday.

Odes

Miss Innes has spent the past two classes exposing students to the ode.  She shared odes written by Pablo Neruda, and students were asked to read and respond to these poems.

Today, students worked on writing their own odes, based on a set of criteria provided by Miss Innes.  Also, she shared an ode she wrote, as a model for students to use as a guide.
