Due on 5/12/11:
* Reading for Reading Log: 30 minutes daily.

* Memorize your poem(s) for recitation, if you have not already done so.

* Write in your journal at least once per day.  Use first person.  If you address an audience at all, it should be God.

+ Ballads are narrative.  They tell a story.
+ Use either ABCB or ABAB rhyme scheme.
+ Use quatrain (four-line stanzas).
