Monday, December 6

This week, we’re focusing on poetry. I have a pretty good idea for the concepts that we’ll cover, but the schedule might switch around a bit.
Today, we learned about the elements of poetry. Students took notes. We talked about things such as simile, metaphor, and imagery. We talked about end rhyme and internal rhyme and students had to write poetry according to a given rhyme scheme.

The schedule for the remainder of the week is subject to change, but these are the concepts that will be addressed:
Monday- We’ll talk about the elements of poetry (simile, metaphor, rhyme, etc.) Students are expected to take notes.

Tuesday- We’ll continue looking at the elements of poetry, such as figurative language. We will look at examples of figurative language in poetry.

Wednesday- We will look at different forms of poetry, such as the narrative poem, lyric poem, or the elegy.

Thursday- Focus on the sonnet.

Friday- Work day in the computer lab. Students will be able to type their projects or do necessary research. Projects are due Monday!
