Today you turned in either your slam (shared electronically with all the required elements highlighted and identified) or your sestina (written on the handout). The other poem will be due on Thursday. The last poem will be due on Monday (which will probably be the sonnet). Friday, you will have class time to write a book review. We'll have the presentations of your poems on Monday and Tuesday. The schedule for finals is as follows:
Wed., June 11 Periods 3 & 4; Thur., June 12 Periods 6 & 7; Fri., June 13 Periods 1 & 2.
We began work on the sonnet. There are two handouts, so get those from me if you were absent. There are some helpful websites: for an overview of the different parts of a sonnet, click on this link; for help with dividing words into syllables or finding which syllable gets stressed, click on this link or this link.
