Do-Now: Compose a Friday haiku. Remember: Haikus are THREE lines long. The FIRST and THIRD line have five syllables each. The SECOND line has seven syllables.
Agenda: 1) Finish typing the first chapter of your memoirs and save it onto your GoogleDocs account.
2) Writers' Wall: The class will begin creating a Writers' Wall in the back corner of the room. If you like, you may choose one or more of the pieces you have written in class to go up on the wall. To include a piece on the wall you must type it and send it to TeacherWinberg@gmail.com. Ms. Winberg will then print it out and post it on the wall.
3) Online Poetry Activities:
ACTIVITY#1 : Magnetic Poetry : Create your own poem using the word tiles provided to you on the Magnetic Poetry website. Your poem should be about 10 lines long when finished. Write down a copy of your poem on your paper once all of your tiles are assembled. You may also submit your poem electronically to the website, but make sure to have a written copy to hand in to me.
