The Poetry Presentations Begin!

Today we started poetry presentations (they were fantastic!). We spent the remaining time walking around and responding to topics.

Don't forget your poetry HW tonight:
  1. Paraphrase the plot of this poem. Briefly, what is it about?
  2. What is the overall tone of the poem?
  3. Note a few literary techniques stand out in this poem.
