Poetry tips

Today we did an activity with Tupac Shakur's "Lady Liberty Needs Glasses" that led into a worksheet on poetry formating and grammar: line breaks, indents, capitalization, etc. Get it an copy the answers from a student.

Then we had writing time.

Then we looked at a bad rough draft and how it turned into a great final draft ("Ding Ding" by Ashley R.) and annotated all the good stuff it did as well as some suggestions for making it better. That was turned in for points.

Finally, don't forget to do the reading for Malcolm X and to bring 2 poems to class tomorrow.
