Please read "First Period" and "Before I Read This Poem" on your own and highlight or mark the IMAGERY in the poem. IMAGERY is simile, metaphor, figurative language, personification, allusion, symbol. I will collect your packet at the end of class today. You will need it for Taylor Mali.
Taylor Mali
From your packet (please read along as we watch):
"A Finger, Two Dots, Then Me"
"Meat Loaf"
"Cotton in the Air"
Noah St. John
"Snap Judgement"
LAB: Please make a list or web map of a topic that makes you: happy, sad, frustrated, angry, insane, pissed-off, etc. Choose a topic you care about. Write that in the center of your journal page.
Now, list associative words and phrases or examples that connect to your central idea.
When you complete your web, use it to write a slam poem today. Try to finish writing a poem by the end of class today. If you do not finish, please complete your poem for next class as homework.
