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)".
