Wednesday, April 18th

Agenda: We will continue brainstorm individually on what topic to write on for our free verse memoirs. We will expand on our chosen “seed” stories by brainstorming what elements can be included in the poem, such as the 5 W’s, emotions and the “lesson learned”. We will then look at an excerpt from “Out of the Dust” called “The Accident” and take note of the types of figurative language used to convey emotion. Then, we will focus on the emotions brainstormed in our “seed” stories and begin to map out how we will convey these emotions in our free verse poems using different poetic devices.

Homework: None- bring your brainstorm sheets with you to class on Wednesday. If you have not submitted a poetry poster from last week, it is still going to be accepted as late this week. 

Due Dates: None
