ENGLISH 9

Unit: Creative Writing ("How do our decisions affect ourselves and others?") - Poetry


Welcome new students to our class.  Everyone: "What are 4-5 values that our class thinks are important?"

Today and Tuesday we will be working on our Portrait Poems.

A note about the "published" quality personal response due on Tuesday (reminder): I'm only looking for (stapled, in this order):

  1. Published work (typed): version 3.0 with self-assessment of published work (purple sheet) 
  2. Revision copy of your work (typed): version 2.0 
  3. draft poems x 3: version 1.0


Due January 12th:
  • 3 x poem DRAFTS (note the change from 5) (no assessments needed at this point).
  • I'm dropping the "representation" assignment that we were going to do after we published a poem. More of this type of thing as the year unfolds.


Today's focus: Portrait Poem #3, 4 and 5 (read and review the blue booklet).

Inspiration:


"Young Forever" by Jay-Z.




"On the Brightside" by Never Shout Never








Themes?  Topics?  Inspirational lines?  How are these songs similar?    


Time to work on your poems.
