Language Arts
All sections received sample sheet of poems. Tonight write drafts of a limerick and cinquain. Choose the character from your novel to complete an Acrostic Poem and begin. This one doesn't have to be completed until we're done with the novel.
We reviewed elements of poetry especially form (lines, stanzas.....)
Poetry presentations began in each section. Students recorded notes on key concepts presented and on the poems that we are reading with the team. Teams are presenting their poems orally, explaining their meaning and providing insight into their themes.
Homework:
