Here is a video that explains how to imbed quotes into your writing. Click on the picture for a link to this handout about incorporating quotes into your own writing. Our poetry unit has two objectives or goals: 1. To write poetry (mostly free-verse, to practice a different form of writing, to focus on small, descriptive details, and to practice viewing the world through a slightly different perspective) 2. To analyze poetry (We will "mark-up" multiple poems together, write interpretive statements and then practice proving our statements using specific quotes from the poem. This will be a 100point in class summative.) We will write most days of the week. I ask that you turn in your poems each day. Eventually, you will choose 3 pieces (that you've already turned in once), to revise for a grade. I know it's hard to revise something you've already worked hard on... but revision leads to even better writing! Here are the revision suggestions for poem #1. So far, we have: --> practiced descriptive writing using our 5 senses about an object --> written our own metaphor poems comparing Love/War/Friendship to random objects (click here for examples) --> practiced using literary devices in our own writing |
