8th: We are in the middle of our poetry unit now and will be gearing up to turn in a packet of typed poems for our final manuscript. This will be due Friday, March 5th. We have worked on formal poetry this week by studying the English Sonnet and the Villanelle. Next week we will study the Sestina and then move into free verse poetry. Our final poem packet will consist of a Sonnet, a Villanelle, a Sestina, and a free verse poem. Students may write an additional free verse poem for extra credit. All work must be turned in by Friday, March 5th! Report cards come out on March 11th.
