We are meeting in the 4th floor computer lab Monday through Thursday this week (1/9/12-1/12/12)

Please complete your Poetry Project by Thursday!

If you are working on it at home as well, you can turn it in on Friday at the beginning of class. You will not have any time to work on this project on Friday.

Remember to meet in the classroom (A435) on Friday, January 13, 2012!

Check out the attached PowerPoint presentations on poetry. They may help you get started on your own work and/or improve what you have already done.

Remember to continue working on your 10 poems as well. Do not forget to save your work!

Welcome to the Middle School Creative Writing Blog!

This is where you will log in each day and find your assignments for the rest of our class.

Before break we began exploring the wonderful world of poetry. Your next task is to write your own poetry.

Here are the requirements:
1. Write (type) at least 10 original poems.
2. Make sure you edit the poems and make them the best they can be.
3. Create a "book" with your 10 poems. You can add art work, etc.
4. Please have a cover page. Give your book a title and include your first and last name.
5. Please do not use the computer lab time as free time. You should be on task and working!


If you need poetry ideas do a google search. In the future, I will post some poem ideas for you as well.

Remember this is a project! Do your best work.
