January Class Notes:

POETRY:
In our poetry unit we are working on the following types of poems:


 * extended metaphor
 * postcard poem
 * ode
 * response to art poem
 * free verse

Remember to consider the four major aspects of a poem:


 * the meaning
 * the sounds of the language (alliteration, rhythm, rhyme, assonance, etc.)
 * the figurative language and specific word choices (metaphor, simile, personification)
 * the form of the poem (line length, stanza, sonnet, haiku, etc.)
