It's time to work on J15 and enter the AG Poetry Contest. This will get two assignments out of the way early! Please work the entirety of both periods on these assignments. You may work with a friend to edit and discuss BRIEFLY...but then get back to writing!
- Journal 15 (updated): You will compose at least two poems (not one).
- First, write either a limerick or a clerihew.
- Next, write either a triolet or a villanelle.
- Compose on paper with your pen or pencil. No typing on your iDad (and no looking up rhymes).
- I want you to edit and rewrite.
- Let a friend read them, enjoy them, talk of them, edit them.
- You will read one to the class in two weeks (when Mr. Schwager returns with an Italian accent and Mr. Reno maintains the same ol' boring one).
- AG Poetry Contest
- The time has come for you to write your own poem for the quarterly contest assignment!
- Write your poem. Again, have a friend help you edit it in class. Write multiple versions. Make it awesome!
- Once you have a poem, print it, and address your envelope (see poster).
- Once you make your entry, take a screen shot of your envelope. Show me the screen shot in person when I return, and your assignment is complete for quarter 3.
- Be sure to send it right away as the contest deadline is the 26th...so you should send it by Friday the 21st of March.
- I decided to switch from a poet presentation to a poetry form presentation done in groups. You group will present on a poetry form that we have not covered. You will be making a poster to hang in class. If you'd like to consider forms early, here is a sweet list to explore. As far as the presentation and poster work goes, we'll treat that when I return. Please pray for us! Blessings, my friends!
