Brit. Lit. + Comp. Lit II:

Today all of my classes did the same basic lesson plan:

Journal Prompt:  Write a 25 line poem on the topic of Spring and the glorious 75 degree weather today.

We took notes on Poetry:

We defined the different forms of metrical feet
We defined meter
We defined foot
We looked at the def. for different metrical lines.

I introduced America's favorite poem project.

I showed you examples from last term and from the project.

I gave you the assignment sheet:

Checklist:

Intro statement Recorded (3- 5 sentences.)

5 digital pictures sent, or 30 seconds of raw footage to have under your voice intro statement.  Please email them to me at cusicks@tantasqua.org by Thursday

 3-5 sent on why you picked the poem.  If this is on your own, I need the video by Thursday.

 

Video of you reading your poem.  Please list the title and poet before reading.

 These are all worth 20 points each.  The final assignment grade will be based on all parts combined and counted as a paper grade.  Effort is a major component of an assignment such as this.  Missing parts for Thursday will result in a deduction of your grade for the assignment.

 

We went outside b and C block and stomped around to Green Eggs and Ham looking at the sound of the metrical foot.

 

I broke you into small groups and asked you to make 4 lines of verse that follows the same trochaic foot.

 

HW:  Please bring in a poem or song lyric that you deeply connect to.  Please make sure you have a copy written or printed out.
