Friday, February 25

At this point, we've covered all the important information about poetry. For the next few days, we'll be reading some different poetry and reviewing what we know. We'll have a poetry test next Friday.

Today, students completed a worksheet on the poem "The Lake", by Ted Hughes. They used the knowledge gained from the last two weeks to answer questions about the figurative language, sound devices and type of poem.

We also discussed the "Poetry Book" project. For this project, students will create a book of poetry on a particular theme. They will need to write 7 original poems and collect them into a book. We will go to the computer lab on Wednesday to type these poems up, and the completed project will be due on Thursday, March 3.
