eLearning: Module 1 Due Next Week

Module 1 is due next week. Please use this time in the lab to complete your work. Next class we will have a pre-assessment test for CW. 

During the last 1/2 of period 8, please select your new poetry book. The goal of reading all these poets and books is so that you have a variety of contemporary poets' work to use as models for your own understanding and crafting of poetry. 

As you read the poems in your new selection, consider and examine how the poet is using: line breaks, patterns/meter, syllables, tone, diction, voice, and so forth to create an effective poem. Notice style and themes. 

HOMEWORK: Read your poetry books. Read your poetry chapter assignments. Complete module 1.
