Workshop/Projects

Good Morning Starshines!

As you can see I am not here today. Please complete the tasks listed below in class today. There is plenty to do! I will see you tomorrow. E-mail me with questions!

Today is the final day to submit entries to Bennington. If you are still unclear about the guidelines please read my post from last Friday.

Your entry to Bennington will be a major writing grade. You must forward or print your confirmation e-mail in order to receive your grade. Thank you to those who have already completed this task!

AGENDA

Period 1 
  1. Hand in homework! (If you need this poem for workshop, please hand it in by the end of class.)
  2. Workshop
    • If you need to workshop Bennington entries, please do!
    • Please workshop any poems in progress you may have. I have lost count, but if you have been using the prompts/doing your homework, you should have plenty to work with.
    • I will need to see evidence of workshop for a grade, so please do it the right way!
    • NOTE: If your grade was lower than anticipated last marking period, it could be because you are not participating in the workshop portion of this class. THIS IS A WORKSHOP CLASS, DO NOT SKIP WORKSHOP TIME!
    • Enter Bennington!
    • Polish Poems: I would like 2-4 polished poems by the end of class on Monday.
Period 2
  • Please take 2nd period to work on your group projects. At this point you should have your project proposals and guidelines written.
  • You are required to have a works cited page with at least 5 sources listed complete at the end of class today. (This was originally due Tuesday.)
  • I am aware that I am asking you to do a lot this week but if you stay organized, you will be successful!
HOMEWORK
  1. Do you owe any work for this class? 
  2. Make sure your poems are all workshopped! I will need to see evidence of workshop for a grade.
  3. Complete chapter 3 titled Characterizing Place in your Poetry Writing books. I hope the exercises provided are giving you plenty of new ideas for your writing.
  4. Please have your Poetry Writing books in class with you on Monday.
