In Class Priorities
- Poem Draft 1 (
- Process Journal 1
- Recitation Poem: Memorization and Analysis
- Study for Devices Quiz
Process Journal 1 (MUST BE TYPED)
- What is your poem about, and what piece of class content (text, movie, activity, concept) inspired you to write your poem about this?
- What about this inspires you? (images, words, symbols, phrases…)
- What do you want to say about this? What perspective are you trying to develop?
- Take two lines from your current draft and write them here. Now rewrite those two lines so that they communicate the same message, but don’t use any of the same words.
- What is your next step in the process? Why? (Brainstorming, peer critique, research, writing, including poetic devices, working on the specific form, starting over, working with a teacher or tutor, learning after-effects, illustrating your poem…other?)
Conferences
I am available for conferences about your rough draft

you want a conference with me, sign up on the board.
