Today we did a poetry terms quizzzzzz, then students shared their found and shape poems.
We discussed what an ODE really is, and looked at a variety of examples:
- A Classical ode
- Ode as a veiled critique, but still embodying praise
- Ode as a modern celebration of simple/humble things - as they are great
- Tips for writing an ode
Today's poem is an Ode. As per the links above, there is no specific expectation around the poem, other than it use poetic devices, praise something (or a group of related things), and be 20+ lines long (Odes can be VERY long pieces, so this is a minimum, not a maximum requirement).
