Hello,
*You will have a poetry test in approximately a week…we can figure out the date…but I do want you to start preparing. Study the following: Poetry terms, name the device (line of poetry and you figure out what device), know how to analyze a poem…and know the poems you have looked at in class so far…
*Inspiration Poems: you will be presenting these on Monday. To make it go smoothly in class please post these to your Edublog. If it is too large a file, you may not be able to do this depending on what program you used. You can post to youtube and get a link for example (and then post link)….please make sure that you can present or have the appropriate dongle for the projector. Plan this out in advance!
