Ms Wark and I were SO proud of everyone who did their Slam poems today!!!!! It is not easy to get up to the front of the class and present an original piece. Good Work!!! There are some terrific poets in EF7A.
For all those students who did not submit their poetry assignment/do their presentation you are now late. Please be ready to hand in your assignment and do your Slam poetry tomorrow.
We have a lot to do this week so we are getting ready to move on. Make sure you are ready for class tomorrow, you will need a pencil and eraser.

Ok Guys....one more time...here is the info about the assignment.
On December 16th (1 week from today) you need to hand in 3 poems. One of these poems must be a narrative poem. The other two poems are some combination of newspaper poems, "If I were in charge of the world" or Free Verse. I do not want two of the same kind of poem (but you can choose two newspaper poems provided you hand in one of each kind). Go back and check out the rubric for more information on the assignment. Also, I will be giving you time in class to work on the assignment provided that you use the time to work and not goof around.
On December 19th (the Monday) we will be having our Poetry Slam. Be ready to present. Monday will be a double period so I hope to get through all the presentations on the 19th.
Any questions come and talk to me on Monday!!
Have a great weekend

Happy Friday!!!
This weekend you should continue to work on you poems. Remember the more poems you write the more choice you will have when you put together your assignment.
You can be working on either Newspaper poems (blackout and cut out) as well as your Narratives. A Narrative poem is a poem that tells a story. Make sure that your narrative poem has a story line that you reader can follow. Also, not all Narrative poems are funny, so don't worry about making it funny.
Don't forget, if you are not writing poems you can spend your homework time reading.
Have a great weekend.
