Today we discussed and continued our notes on poetry -- Sound.

We edited each other's poems and origin myths.  Origin myths and poems drafts should be finalized and published for collection on Monday.

We established Poetry teams and received our assignments.  We made team assignments for the evening.

We wrote out corrections for our Genre and Figurative Language exam.  We began writing our extended response about Arachne.
