Welcome to Term II of the 2013-14 school year. Presently, the 10th grade is immersed in the experience of poetry: listening and responding to poems, and writing original poetry independently. The students’ final project will be a typed manuscript of 10 original poems by each student. The entire project will be due upon return from Winter Break in February. I am assigning each poem based on a class lesson
The first poem was assigned before Regents Week: Poem # 1- Write a Sonnet about your Hopes & Dreams. Poem # 2 will be assigned Feb. 4- Write a free-verse poem that uses a geographic feature symbolically, and with descriptive imagery. I anticipate reading all my students’ poetry this year; I hope this manuscript will be a learning experience for all of us. Ms. Pickering
