We are almost at the end of the semester! We've been working on poetry, including:
a) found poetry (newspaper, poetry magnets, anthologies)
b) concrete and formulaic poems (haiku, tanka, cinquain)
c) imagery poems (colour poems, imagery poems, William Carlos Williams inspirations)
d) extended metaphor poems ( Full Moon Me, There is a Wilderness in Me)
...we've discussed triggers and inspirations for writing your own poetry. See my online poetry unit for ideas and inspirations. Class time will be given for your poetry selection. You must include a minimum of four poetic styles, as we discussed in class. Next class we'll be discussing odes and elegies, including songs such as "Afterglow" by INXS.
We also have been working on staging scenes from a Midsummer Night's Dream.
Upcoming Due Dates:
1. Monday, January 28th: in-class reading assessment
2. Wednesday, January 30th: Poetry Selections and MSND scene presentations
