Homework 11/16

Don't forget to brainstorm you Thanksgiving imagery!  You need to have 3 examples for each of the senses (so 15 total).  And remember, you are writing "word pictures," not drawing actual pictures.   ;)

Homework 11/15

Don't forget to do the rhyme scheme for "Respiration" and "The Weaver".  (I know you may not "know it," but try to look for the end rhymes and we will review first thing tomorrow!)  We will be moving into imagery with Langston Hughes and Biggie tomorrow...and don't forget to be thinking of Thanksgiving sensory details for your imagery poems!

SUMMATIVE GRADE ALERT!

Your final drafts of the "Beauty" projects are due TOMORROW (Tuesday)!!!!  And don't forget if you are going to take advantage of a little bit of amnesty you have to turn in your Up questions tomorrow.  (Remember, you will not get even close to full credit, but some is better than none, so take me up on it!)  Also, periods 5-7, your notebooks are due again.  (1, 3-4, you can turn yours in for late credit tomorrow ONLY!)  Good luck!

Sorry!

If you came looking for me this afternoon...I had to run into the building really quick and got pulled into a quick "meeting."  I was back outside at about 4:20.  I will be around tomorrow if anyone needs me!
