- What is it about?
- What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem?
- Annotate and make sense of this poem.
Prompts: Write about something that you think is giving you poetry right now.
From Winter Tangerine: "Write a piece involving two people watching a fire billow and grow."
From Writer's Digest: "For today’s prompt, write a change poem. This could be a poem about something that has changed or something that will change. Changing tires, clothes, or perspectives. Change left over when paying for something with cash. Feel encouraged to change it up today.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."
A couple of other things to know about. Thursday, poems are due. You should upload drafts of your poems. If you are taking pictures, try to fit a few poems on each shot so I don't have to open 20-30 images and you don't have to upload so many files.
Thursday is also Poem in Your Pocket Day. Post a poem on social media or write a poem in chalk on the sidewalk or perform a poem for a friend. There are endless opportunities to share poetry. This is an extra credit assignment worth 10 points. Upload what you do and I'll give you credit.
Friday RJs are due.
That's what our week looks like.
Looking ahead:
For your collections: put together a collection of your best 10-15 poems due May 6th. (50 points)
Include an introduction and table of contents.
Number your pages.
Revise your poems to make them as strong as possible.
For our poetry slam: Submit a video of you performing a poem by May 8th. (30 points)
You can do someone else's poem with a response or your own original poem.
They should not be longer than 3 minutes.
You can work by yourself or in a small group

ReplyDeleteFINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because lifebecame meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, thesymptoms became very severe and bold and made my familyrun from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gaveup everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because thedoctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs butthey never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me makingit worse. I was doing some research online someday when Icame across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhotacured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thoughtit was a joke but later decided to contact him on the detailsprovided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent mehis herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after twoweeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I wasNEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DREbhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep ontelling the world about you. If you are going through samesituation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota viadrebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.he also special on cureing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3.
