This sentence fluency grammar test is postponed until next Wednesday to give you more time to study the links on the blog!

ALL CLASSES
1) Create your final poem and author's note  (Really should be ready by end of class Friday) 
This is your best written poem (new or second/third version) of a previous poem. This poem will go on your poetry top 10 as your last slide (slide 11)

2) Create your Poetry top 10 - DUE DATE EXTENED til - END OF CLASS Tuesday

3. Write using sentence fluency an explanation of each slide (Due Tuesday)

e.g. Metric Verse 

There are 5 types of Poetic feet, and you can see that in the picture above. These each represent the amount of unstressed and stressed syllables in a section or number there are since that is very important for the rhythm of the poem. Also there number of feet per line. For example, If an Iambic, 1 unstressed and one stressed syllable, showed up in a line 5 times, it would be called Iambic Pentameter.

4) Memorize the poem you want to use in the POscars (Due Monday) - You will be graded on PIPES SUMMATIVE for your performance and invited or NOT to the POSCars!

Your last poem - due Monday - FREE VERSE - write your best poem about a topic you feeling strongly about OR a key event in your life.
