Elearning, The Writing Process, & Introduction to Poetry

Today, please log onto our elearning log site and begin working on the assignments and material in MODULE 0. When you complete one exercise or lesson, go on to the next lesson in the module. You will be able to work at your own pace for much of this class.

ELearning log in site.

During period 8, let's stop to read some poetry. After you sign out the book Pictures That Storm Inside My Head, get into small reading groups of 2-4. Taking turns, read part one: "Pictures That Storm Inside My Head" (pg. 28-39) out loud. After reading the section, complete the poetry analysis handout together, then turn in your work at the end of class today for credit.

You may continue working on the assignments and material on the E-Learning site. Due dates for module 0 will be discussed soon.

HOMEWORK: None. Please bring your books back with you to class on Monday. We will be using them.
