Hello wonderful English students. Here is an update from this week. We discussed the limmerick and students set to writing 2 limmericks and two Yankee Doodle poems. There were some very cleaver poems...I will post some up soon. We discussed the importance of imagery when an author writes. Imagery focuses on the sights, sounds, tastes, touches, and smells that are brought to life through words. Students had to find a poem that they felt was full of great imagery. We are using this poem to create a visual representation of some of the images the poet is trying to convey in their writing. Students have two classes to finish the work..it will be due mid next week.
For students going away, please check this blog for work that you will be missing. I will try to keep you up to date day by day. Also, for any students needing help, I am always available during X Block. I will be letting students know this weekend if you are missing any work. The following is a list of work that should be in for term 4 so far.
