Dandelion Wine Quiz #1; Love Poem Post; Genre Brochure Project: Day 4

After our quiz on pages 1-67 of Dandelion Wine, then turn in your quizzes, and please use the rest of period 3 to read pg. 68-89.

After all the tests are collected, and the class is quietly reading, we will move over to the lab.

It's Valentine's Day!

BLOG POST #5: Please read Andrew Varnon's poem: "Be My Sherpa", Then, write your own love (or anti-love) poem as your post assignment on your blog.

You might find it helpful for your brainstorming to:

• List objects, ideas, associative words on a page
• Find random words in a dictionary or thesaurus and write them down (the more random the better)
• Find a random article from the internet and select a variety of words and include them on your list
• Listen to snippets of conversation and select random words from what you hear and write them down

Then use a stem prompt like:

• Be my...
• I love you like...
• You're my...
• You're not my...
• Don't be my...

Etc.

After completing your blog post, please continue to work on your genre brochure. The brochure will be due at the end of next class.

HOMEWORK: Please read up to pages 89 in Dandelion Wine. Bring your books to our next class.
