We did iambic skits: Entire conversations in iambic pentameter. Some video of that below...

We read some poems by Ben Jonson (Still to Be Neat, On My First Son, Song: To Celia).

We looked at your 17th century winter themed poems that you brought in for HW.

We made an offering to the snow Gods for a snow day by offering snowflakes in the classroom windows.
We also made pocket poems, and placed them on the holiday shrub in our classroom.

We completed iambic skits.
