Portfolio due today!

Your portfolio will be collected by the end of class today. Please make sure your poems are titled, indicate draft #, and include your name. Please ONLY select your BEST 5 to 7 poems. I will not grade more than 7. Your poems should show me clearly that you understand the craft of poetry (see the blog entry below).

Also, please finish reading the confessional poems given to you in the first part of class today.

There is a test on the craft of poetry on Thursday. You should refer to the blog notes below to study for material that will likely be found on the test.
