Freshman English

Poetry Unit
Our unit on poetry is underway and not only have we been witness to some awesome examples of words shaped into metaphor, simile, and used to create imagery with our senses, but we have already taken a hand at writing our own poems in class. Some of you have mentioned that you have already written poetry on your own. Your experience is welcome!

So far we've written a Sensory Poem (Poem #1), the Phone Number Poem (Poem #2), and are working on a Concrete Poem (Poem #3). Be sure to take a look at more examples at this site. Remember: the Poetry Chapbook is due May 11th. Be sure to keep up with the Poetry Workshops in class and let me know if you have any questions.
