Good Morning!

I hope you all had a chance to complete your essays. I will give you 15-20 minutes to get them in order/turned in. When you are done:

Workshop

• Please workshop any poems in progress you may have. I have lost count, but if you have been using the prompts/working with the book, you should have plenty to work with.

• I will need to see evidence of workshop for a grade, so please do it the right way!
• NOTE: If your grade was lower than anticipated last marking period, it could be because you are not participating in the workshop portion of this class. THIS IS A WORKSHOP CLASS, DO NOT SKIP WORKSHOP TIME
• Polish Poems: I would like 2-4 polished poems by the end of next week.

Group Project

1. With at least one other person, you are going to work together to create your own poetry projects.
2. Your task will be to find a link between poetry and one other unrelated thing.
3. You will write a proposal for your idea and do some research.
4. You will also write a group poem which is the end goal.
5. You will present your reasearch and poems in a formal way.

After workshop time you should form groups and get planning.
