Poetry

Assignment #1 Introduction Poetry

Today we found a very useful webpage with some introductory poem structures for us to "warm up with". If you missed it in class you can follow this link to visit the site.

Your assignment after looking through the website is to write and post an acrostic poem, a cinquain and an autobiographical poem. For the acrostic poem, please use the letters of your name to start each line, and please limit your content to affirmative or positive adjectives. If you are having a tough time thinking of words for the letters of your name, try a Google search of "positive adjectives beginning with the letter (insert your letter here)".

Next Assignment #2: Haiku

We will be writing 3 haikus in class. One good copy to be displayed in hallway outside classroom.Your poems will be published on your website. If you missed the class more information on Haiku is available here. There are also some examples in your drive that have been shared with you. See me in person if you need more information.
