Poetic Journey...Expecting

For G/H Class only...

Step 1) You must search the internet for an interesting image
Step 2) You must describe the image as effectively as possible using precise diction. Their description should ensure:
1) - Describe JUST the most important details (less is more)
2) - Use details that connect to multiple SENSES (see, feel, hear, etc)
3) - Have a REASON for the details you provide (does each detail add to ‘author’s purpose?’)
4) - State the 'reason' for your description. What emotion were you trying to convey?

Step 3) The image and piece of writing should be copied into the file on my blog : (Dictation and Details) - Assessment next to their name

Diction and Details: Grammar Assessment G/H Class

See Think Wonder Activity: G/H Class only


For C/D and E/F classes: Poem due Monday
(this is your slam video)


This is the link to my poem: Expecting again

Sometimes the simplest topics are the most effective!

You will use these files on Monday. Ignore them for now

I actually have the same question as Nicole. It was kind of unclear in class today.

Mr. Buxton, that picture perfectly goes with your poem and ties it all together. Sophie and Lucy look just like you. They look a lot older than when I saw them in 2011 when we first came to Singapore.
