Segue Project & Drafting

Please continue your segue projects. You will be required to have three turns for each "cycle." That's six poems completely.

When you have written your poems put them together with your partner. Keep them in order and give your cycle a title and author credit to you and your partner.

You may also spend your time in lab revising and drafting your previous poem and poem cycle. For the poem cycle, you may take any of the poems or all of them and create a second draft. Keep track of the # of drafts each time you work on a draft.
