Read your book club books. No other H/W. ' Make  your thinking visible


You will be asked to write a sticky at some stage in class tomorrow that shows your best thinking.

Sentence Fluency Test

You may refer to the cards on the desk (FANBOYS or AAWWIBBUSS)

H/W - Just enjoy your reading tonight.  You have been working hard recently! Agree as a book club what page to read to.

If your Top 10 is not in Seesaw AS A VIDEO - by the end of the day WEDNESDAY - it is considered late. Make sure your final poem is at the end of it.

Summative

For all of those who regularly check my blog, you now have an advantage! This is a poem that you must interpret for your summative in Monday's class. I am giving it in advance, so you have more time to do your thinking. You cannot discuss this poem with a parent or classmate. You can look at ANY of your poetry notes. All answers will be written in class on pencil and paper on MONDAY. Any notes you make before class, can be used in class.

Discuss how a PART of the poem (word, image, phrase, line, or stanza) plays a role in creating the WHOLE poem. Be sure to talk about HOW the part develops the larger IDEA/MEANING of the poem. Use everything you know about close reading and analyzing literature as you show your thinking and support it.

To Look at Anything

John Moffitt

To look at anything,

If you would know that thing,

You must look at it long:

To look at this green and say,

“I have seen spring in these

Woods,” will not do – you must

Be the thing you see:

You must be the dark snakes of

Stems and ferny plumes of leaves,

You must enter in

To the small silences between

The leaves,

You must take your time

And touch the very peace

They issue from.

End of Poetry Unit: Expectations

These are the final ADAPTED instructions for your independent work going forward
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!
