Penfield Poetry is coming up! Submitting a poem is required of every student. Yes, you. Pick one to three of your poems. Please include a title page with your poem that has your poem's title, your name, address, zip code, email address, etc. Keep this handy for submission day!
Complete your drafts and revisions of your poems in lab today. Additionally, please complete the following:
1.Go to the following website and browse. Buy a t-shirt, find resources to help your own poetry writing, get ideas from reading some poems teens like.
Choose 3 poems from "poems for teens" to read and comment on. What do you think? Like it? Not like it? Why? Why not? Have you thought about writing something similar? What do you notice the poet doing well in the poem? Notice any literary devices being used? Would you recommend it to another teen? An adult you know? Your commentary should be turned in by the end of class.
Then spend your time looking at other parts of this website.
2. On Wednesday we are going to be visited by Mark Shulman, Mr. Cohen's cousin, a writer who wrote the book: Scrawl. To prepare for this awesome event, please visit the website and learn a little about this author and the book.
