Poetry Month: Week 4 THE FINAL WEEK

A message from your teacher: 

I want to thank all of you for the wonderful ways in which you have allowed me to guide you to learn, think, and write. I have been delighted to be your teacher. I have learned much from you. I have thought new things because of all you have offered in our classroom community. 

This experience has brought joy to my heart, and I couldn't imagine it being any better than it has been. My appreciation fills my soul. I wish every good thing for you as you continue on your life journey. 

*DES who are just beginning, we are in Week Four, so make sure you stop by Week One for instructions and to make your first poetry post if you haven't already. 

Remember the instructions! If you've forgotten, go back to Week One and read them again.

No me olvides
Mis brillantes estudiantes 
Recuérdame
Voy a recordar siempre
Siempre y siempre

Sister Jackson's Poem: 


The world spins at the same rate
For everyone out of the gate.
The same hours and minutes,
For each day--something we can trust.

Why can't the warmth continue
Why can't the smiles light anew

How the days do linger as they fly.

Poetry Month: Week 1

Welcome and thank you for being part of Warrior English for National Poetry Month. 

Instructions: 

Post one poem of your original work each week. Anything we have worked on in class for the week is eligible, but remember that it must be polished. Check for spelling, punctuation, as well as refining from the draft work done in class, and be sure that your work is in poetry form with lines and stanzas--not paragraphs. 

After you post your poem, reply on at least THREE different poems. 

Identify any literary devices that are used within the poems that  you reply to along with appreciative and connective commentary. 

Each week, please search out poems from people you haven't already replied to and at the very least vary your replies from only your current close friends.

Any DES who are doing this at a later date, do the poetry posts as if you were on the LIVE track and make comments as assigned.  

What will be the same as the Slice of Life Story Challenge: 

Building on our classroom community that we have developed, comments are encouraged. Remember to be encouraging, sharing, and positive. Any negativity will be deleted and participation points will be taken away.
