We hit the ground running with new units when we return. Make copies of these files and place them into your shortcuts. Remove all 'old' shortcuts.
Poetry Reading Unit: How to Eat a Poem
H/W: You need to bring to Tuesday's class the lyrics of a song you really like. (Choose 'age appropriate' song)
Poetry Writing Unit: Crafting Engaging Poetry
H/W: For Wednesday's class Bring a printed version of an article that you have found on the internet about a topic that makes you angry e.g. $70,000 Missing from Newton Town Donations
You will be writing on this paper, so make sure you have a printed copy
Grammar: Unit 6 Word Choice
The expectation is that you will complete at least 30minutes of Membean practice between Monday and Friday. Those of you that did not complete the last Membean test on the last day of school last semester will take that test on Tuesday. Well done to those who choose to continue praticing Membean into January: Jess, Jordan, Ethan, Marium and the most hardworking student on Membean over the break (notice the superlative!) ZACK!
What will you do this sesmester to be..."the best that you can be?"

Mr. Buxton,
Can you clarify where these go in our shortcuts.
The link to this doc "Poetry Writing Unit: Crafting Engaging Poetry" is also for the $70,000 Missing from Newton Town Donations along with its own link.
Jess,
On your bookmark page you just add a new folder called RLA
I am so excited to go to school tomorrow!
Even though today was short, I learned a lot for the first day in poetry. That you have to open your self up. That it is not about the metaphors and that it has similes , it is what you write that can touch some ones heart.
This poem by Donald Justice
Your type of beauty has no place here.
Night is the sky over this poem.
It is too black for stars.
And do not look for any illumination.
That was just one sector or section of it. Yes!!! MEMBEAN WORD
I also agree with you Jessie. Today I learned a lot about poetry. One of the major things I learned today was that sharing personal stories can open up other people and from that video I learned that there is no 'rules' for poetry. No one can tell you how to write poetry.
That video was so inspiring! I think that this is going to be a great 2nd semester! Thank you Mr. Buxton.
