Love That Dog, Conclusion; Pre-Assessment

Today, please complete Love That Dog. After reading this book, we must take our pre-assessment for 9th grade.

The pre assessment has two parts to it. When you have completed this assessment, please go next door to the lab and work on the following task:

1. Revise your baseline fiction story. Draft two of your work is due today.
2. If you finish or have finished your draft two, please read the following poems:

Brainstorming: Start with your journal. Make a list of things you believe, things that make you mad, or things that you feel go unnoticed by others, things that are important to you. Write for 5 minutes. Try to fill a page or two.

Now, look over your list and choose the topic that you feel may be the most interesting to an audience. Write a poem based on this chosen idea. This will be a first draft.

When you complete your draft, please watch the following poetry slam performances:

Derrick Brown
"A Finger, Two Dots, Then Me"
"Meat Loaf"
"Cotton in the Air"

Noah St. John
"Snap Judgement"
