Today we focused on the sound elements of poetry. Poetry is very musical, and poets use many different techniques to make poetry even more musical. Students learned many definitions today, like alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, refrain, etc.
After this, we read poetry in the book that had musical qualities. We read "Jazz Fantasia", by Carl Sandburg, and "Next!", by Ogden Nash. Students who need to make today up should get the notes and do the "Reading Check" questions on those two poems.
