Slam Poem Writing Advice, "Love Poem Medley"

I collected the annotations on Shooter, and distributed a handout with some advice for writing poetry. If you were absent, you will need to get that handout from me as it is in a format that I can't link to my blog. 

We then watched Rudy Francisco present his slam poem, Love Poem Medley (you can see it on YouTube) and pulled out examples of conceit, allusion, pun, and imagery.

The rest of the class time was used for getting started on your slam poem.

Today is the absolute final deadline for the Nature of Man Synthesis essay.  Share whatever you have, even if it isn't finished; some points are better than none.

There is no HW tonight.
