Wednesday, April 27

Do-Now: Try a name poem.  You can either choose to write one about yourself or someone you know.  The first word of each line will begin with each letter of the name.  You can choose to keep your poem unrhymed or set up your own rhyme scheme.

Example:  E ver since the day I brought you home
                M y life has never been the same
                M utt or not, you're my best friend
                A lways by my side

Today: Other Types of Poetry: You will be writing five different poems following five different structured formats.  You will receive a separate worksheet for each of the five types of poems.  These worksheets will contain explanations on how to write each type of poem as well as examples for each type.  You will compose your five poems on the back of each worksheet.  The poems are due by the beginning of class on Friday and you will have today and tomorrow to work on them in class.
