Well, those were some pretty powerful Found Poems you submitted last week. Several well written and creatively displayed examples demonstrating some of the darker themes of Night. I was impressed. You'll be getting your assessments back tomorrow, but I'll be hanging on to and hanging up those poems.
I analyzed your acuity results and the number one area of concern was, ugh, spelling. We'll do some work with that and a couple other areas too. Your poetry knowledge is evidently not where it needs to be. That is something else we will be taking care of in the next few weeks as we prepare ourselves for ISTEP this quarter.
Odes? Sonnets? Ballads? Narratives? Lyric poetry? Elegies? You'll know what each one is really soon.
I was working assessing your poems and some quizzes from other classes this weekend. Hopefully, you've been busy working on your WDIWTLMA paper. I'll be looking for a clearly written topic, at least four pieces of information you'll be including in your paper, and the sources of the information you've typed out. That's right, all this information needs to be typed out so that I can see it clearly. If you've been smart, you've gone beyond the minimum and researched and found a lot more useful information.
A reminder: plagiarism is when you steal or try to pass of the words of someone else as your own. You MUST offer citations not just of quoted material but of information you learned as well. You very likely will have dozens of citations in your paper. That's fine. Plagiarism is not. Plagiarism will earn a failing grade.
What is an inference?
The man in the Chicago Bears jersey walked into the restaurant with a smile on his face and slapped the waiter a high five.
Make an inference about the scene above, and I will sign your Archer card.
What's the scariest situation you have ever been involved in? Sleep on that one--if you can.
See you tomorrow.
