Due on Thursday, 5/18/17
1) Be studying for our poetry quiz. Visit the review page from our class website using the links in the sidebar on the right of this Homework Blog page.
* At the top right, click on "Creative Writing Home Page."
* Once, there, scroll down to "Topics of Study, Quarter 4" on the left and click it.
Read the entire review list for Quarter 4. We did not study extensively about the different types of rhyme, but everything else is stuff you should recognize and know. Also, review the notes you took on poetry in class and the notes on the handouts I gave you.
2) Scan the rest of the poems on the page with the one we looked at in class today ("Animal Crackers"), determining the rhyme scheme and the meter of each. Write that information out on a sheet of paper, ready to turn in as you walk into class tomorrow.
3) Commit your final memorization project (verse or four-stanza poem) to memory. Be ready to recite it at any time.
4) Write in your journal (writer's notebook) daily—beginning today, Thursday, 5/11—for five minutes at a time, just as you did for each writer's notebook entry. Your entries should be written in second person point of view, directed to God, using first person pronouns. Follow the model of Mark Rodriguez's entries if you need a model. You may write about anything you'd like—just write for five minutes, without stopping, using second person point of view to God. Be sure you have your writer's notebook in class on Thursday.

NOTE: The May Reading Log will be due, signed by a parent, on Tuesday, 5/23/17.

Also, daily:
