In the lab today, write a poem about writing or a poem about poetry. Use the models above to help you get started. If you do not complete your draft, write it at home and bring it back to class on Thursday.
For interested students, record your pet peeve speech. Film at least 2 takes of you delivering your pet peeve speech. Once you have it filmed, upload the file to your computers. We'll play around with this material a little more next class. This is extra credit--not required of all students!
