We reviewed sound devices today. Sound devices are all the ways that poets attempt to make poetry more musical, and include alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, etc.
We had a quiz on the poem "Jazz Fantasia." It was a 12 question quiz, mostly multiple choice.
Following that, students completed a daily log. The daily log activity consists of a variety of tasks involving grammar, vocabulary, and journal writing.
After this, students completed a packet of worksheets. The worksheets were all about lyric, narrative, and dramatic poems.
Finally, there was an extra credit project. Just like "Jazz Fantasia" attempted to capture the rhythms and music of jazz, I challenged my students to write a poem about their chosen style of music that represents that style.
