Poetry Parties

Poetry Parties will take place on Monday morning. These will be a celebration of language, music, and literature. I expect passionate performances and powerful deliveries from ALL of you.  Each of you will have to come prepared to deliver TWO performances.  You will also need to turn in your completed, decorated poetry books containing at least 8 of the 9 poems we have done in class from the list below. You may choose NOT to include any one poem from the list below: (you are welcome to include all 9 if you decide)

Personal Poem - Describing an emotion
Narrative Poem -  Relating the world event
Inside/Outside Poem - The Fruit
Inside/Outside Poem - About yourself.
Published Poem - The poem you recited in class
Midwest Group Perform
Road Less Taken -Interpretation
Beatles song - Interpretation
Free Choice - Show your creativity here!


Side note. I am so proud to observe your brilliant creativity with respect to the regions inquiry based assignment. A perfect example was what Lilly said in class this morning,

"Mr Buxton, can I make my timeline the Brooklyn Bridge? I also want to use different cars (forms of transport) to represent the historical events that occured over time in my region."

Bravo Lilly! How will the rest of  you, 'think out of the box?'

Impressive 'elevator pitches' today  from the Buxton class for your Animoto movies. I am excited to see your finished versions next week.

Mr. Buxton the poem on what I enjoy is only twelve lines, but i really like it this is it~ Dance when no ones looking,
Dance harder when they are
Dance to heal a wound,
Dance to heal a scar
Dance under the rain
Dance under the sun
And when you think you cant dance,
Just get outside and run
Dance to the sound of the leaves,
Dance to the song in your heart
Dance even tho you know...
That your world is falling apart.

Thomas Layton said...

Will said...

Can we use notes on the test?!?!

Unknown said...

NO NOTES ON THE TEST!

You are all asking questions that you already know the answer. It has been clearly stated what you need to know on the blog and on the H/W sheet.

Today's session reiterated how even if you come across something that we haven't studied, it still doesn't mean you can't answer the question correctly.
