For this week's blog post, you'll need to look at last week's entries from your peers and respond to at least one entry. Your response should be three sentences or more and should compliment the poet on specific parts of the poem he/she posted. Be thoughtful and supportive! Feeling like doing more? Feel free to respond to more than one peer's poem this week!

As we prepare to wrap up the writing portion of our poetry unit, you should have a number of original poems that you've written (in class and outside of class). Your challenge for the blog this week is to post one of the poems that you feel exhibits your best work thus far.
In addition to typing your poem as your response this week, also include a short introduction to your poem that states what the writing prompt was that you were responding to, why you feel like this is your best poem, and what you've thought about writing poetry in class in general (I'd love for you to be completely honest too). I can't wait to see which poems you're the most proud to share with your classmates via our blog. An ode is a type of poem that the Greeks developed. It is typically a poem that praises a particular person, thing, or animal.
Check out this example from another blog that is an Ode to Starbucks: http://www.powerpoetry.org/poems/ode-starbucks Write your own ode for this week's blog. It can be an ode to anything! What do you want to profess your admiration and appreciation for? Write a letter to Mr. Kerwin or to Mrs. Stillitano that uses at least SIX vocabulary words from our class list. Not sure what the words are? Check out the vocabulary tab on the blog for a link to our long list! Be sure to put the words you choose to use in CAPS since the blog won't let you underline them.
PS - Did you notice Mr. Kerwin's post below? Check it out and feel free to comment on it to send him a message too! |
