SLAM RUBRIC; SHOOTER; LOVE POEM/IN-TEXT CITATIONS AND WORKS CITED PAGE

SENIORS: I went over the rubric for your final, which is to create and present a slam poem of your own.  Click on this link for the rubric. Before you start writing your own slam poem, you need to see how slam poems can be constructed.  Click on this link for a transcript of Love Poem Medley by Rudy Fransisco.  Annotate the poem for the same things you will need to have for your final slam poem (see rubric). Another slam poem that you will need to analyze is The Shooter by Lamar Jorden. Click on this link for that assignment. It would be helpful for you to see these poets in action. See the links above, or, if they don't work, you can find them on YouTube.

SOPHOMORES: I passed out a handout with examples of in-text citations (click on this link) and Works Cited format (click on this link). There is also some advice if you have problems with EasyBib (click on this link). Lastly, as you worked on your essay, I started a Notebook Check.
