You are currently working on a poem draft (from Monday). This assignment is what we call Ekphrastic poetry (poetry written about a photograph or painting). Our goal is more concerned with limiting the scope of your poem, but since you're doing it, you should know that this is a type of poetry.
Today during 7th period, please complete the ekphrastic draft (due today). Some of you are already done or will finish early, please move on to the other two tasks:
1. Read about the different types of nature poems (below) and the article/handout about coming up with some ideas/and read the models of various nature poems for inspiration. Use your journal and free write or list ideas/words in your journal. Collect a word bank, steal a line, etc. to help you with your own task.
2. Read the Ted Kooser's chapter: Relax and Wait. Pay close attention to the writing group section. There will be a quiz out the door at the end of today's class regarding this chapter. Please read and take notes on important ideas in the article.
