OMG! So Much to Do! Poetry Unit End Looming!

You should work today in the lab to complete modules 0 & 1 of the poetry unit. Please use this time in the lab to complete your work. Many of you are very far behind. These modules are DUE by end of next class!

Additionally, save any of your poetry and print out copies for your portfolio.

HOMEWORK/CLASSWORK: We have a little more to cover in regards to poetry and the poetry unit. Please read the chapter by Mary Oliver on SOUND and SOUND DEVICES. As you read, note and be able to define the following key techniques of sound in poetry:
  • vowels, consonants, semivowels, mutes, etc.
  • Onomatopoeia
  • The analysis of Robert Frost's poem
  • Alliteration
  • Assonance
I am pushing the unit test on poetry off a week so that we can complete the unit. Some of you may need to complete homework to get caught up with the rest of the class. Complete modules 0 and 1 by Friday.

Complete your reading of your poetry collection(s).
