What an elegant image Sandburg's metaphor creates for the reader! Students this week are cooking up their own metaphors to give fresh new ways of thinking about ordinary things. They will use one of these metaphors as inspiration for a poem. Mid-week we'll take a look at some free verse poems, which will be a springboard into writing a free verse on a topic of their choice. Students will also be wrapping up their final device pages.
Homework:
Monday/Tuesday: Device pgs. 5 & 6 due Wednesday; metaphor poem due Friday.
Wednesday: metaphor poem due tomorrow.
Thursday: work on free verse poem (due by Monday 4/23).
Friday: Free verse poem due Monday 4/23.
