Hello Students and Parents! I hope you all enjoyed your break. Here is what to expect in the upcoming weeks:
7th: We are beginning our poetry unit this week with an introduction to formal and free verse poetry and the poetic elements. We have ten terms to study for our spelling and vocabulary test this Friday. In this unit we will study formal poetry in depth and practice writing the Sonnet, the Villanelle, the Sestina, the Ode, the Haiku, and the Limerick. Then we will study narrative and lyric free verse poetry and write some of our own free verse poems. The unit concludes with a final typed manuscript, which will be worth 50 points!
8th: We will have our final exam over Romeo and Juliet on Tuesday, January 4th! For the rest of the week we will continue working in our Buckle Down workbooks in preparation for the upcoming AIMS test. Next week we will begin our poetry unit.
Have a great quarter!
Mrs. Rubasch
