Freshmen: Today we covered the final free verse principle we're going to cover for a while, that of using figurative language. I'd like you to revise your previous four poems for this principle, and write a fifth original poem that intentionally uses figurative language well. It should also adhere to the previous principles. On Thursday, you should come to class with all five of your poems. Your work will be assessed based on how well you adhere to the principles we covered. Also due Thursday is your Letter About Literature and your entry form. Due Friday is Chapter 6 vocab. Read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday night.
Sophomores: Today we began working on the Letters About Literature project. See http://www.read.gov/letters/ and click on "Rules and Guidelines" for more details. Your Letter About Literature is due on Thursday along with your signed entry form. See the blog for what's due on Friday with the reading; we will have a seminar on that day and move the vocab back to Monday.
CNF: Today we continued Hoop Dreams, looking at how it's constructed and how it's an example of "winning the tournament."
