Good Afternoon,

Hello!

Friday Writes:  What makes a scary story?  Brainstorm

*Yesterday, We finished class by reading the poem “My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns.  We are going to write our own ‘Love’ poems.  This does not have to be a romantic poem or even a poem about another person!  It can be about a video game, a book, nature or anything of your choosing…

This lesson is about learning rhythm and scansion.  It is usually a harder topic to learn.  It is regarding how to learn iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter for example.

“Casey at the Bat”:  please read the poem on the first link.  After you read the poem, you can watch the two attached cartoons below.  After, you can work on the questions attached to the poem on the first link.  The second link is an additional resource.
