Students shared some remarkable poems today! Truly - It was really exciting to listen to what they created - fabulous.
A reminder to BRING A NOVEL to our Monday class:)
S students watched Shayne Koyczan's piece, "To This Day"
They also listened to Barabara Adler's "In the Time Before."
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 (only for those who feel stuck): Things which are both ordinary and extraordinary at once.
