Trade peace poems with someone, and write the poet's name at the top of your starter. (If you were ABSENT, do these questions for your own poem!) For their poem, answer the following:
- What is this poem trying to communicate intellectually and emotionally?
- What is the strongest line (copy it), and why?
- Give two specific suggestions for making this poem stronger.
Poetry and Perspectives
Working on getting away from "duh" perspectives like "War is bad," and "peace is good." If you were absent, you need to write 3 possible perspective statements for your poem. Make sure that it is nuanced and that it avoids being obvious!
Work your way through the handout linked above. Follow all the directions!
Poem Memorization and Choice
Finish choosing your poem, sign up for a recitation date, and work on memorizing your poem.
HOMEWORK
- Have your poem for memorization chosen when you walk into class tomorrow.
