Have a poetry collection in your hand for a homework check (sorry, no Shel Silverstein). This is the book you will read over Spring Break, and from which you will choose a poem to memorize.  See the Spring Break 2009 Assignment for more details.

Due Wednesday, March 11:

A. Final Muckraker Poster Assignment due

B. Poetry Doesn’t Have to be Pretty: following the examples we studied Wednesday, compose the following three poems, and type them up:

1. a garbage poem with specific details

2. a “diamond in the rough” poem with a striking contrast

3. an “unbeautiful” poem about something unpleasant, using at least 8 similes/metaphors

O N G O I N G:
