Hello
Yesterday you wrote your short story test. I managed to post blocks A and B onto Myed but I haven’t had a chance to do so for Block D. On Wednesday/Thursday we worked on our Essay Outlines –they should be completed for today. Over the weekend, transform your outlines into a rough draft. Drafts must be done for Monday as we will be doing peer editing.
We will be starting our poetry unit.
*I want you all to reflect and brainstorm the idea of what Poetry means to you. You will write down this thought/reflection on a doc. open on your devices.
-we will look at some definitions of poetry by T.S. Eliot and ee cummings

We will then read the poem “Eating Poetry” by Mark Strand and “Introduction to Poetry by Billy collins
-You will be divided into groups of three. Each group will be responsible for 2 poems and will work on Office 365 on the chart you will create below:
