Welcome Back

We got the final weeks of the year off to a good start with a few poems and a quick IM quiz.

Tomorrow's Presentation Poems (Don't forget  to do the homework!)

"A Poem on the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy" by Nikki Giovanni

"After Building the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Death Star" by Sherman Alexie

How many planets do you want to destroy? 
Don’t worry, Daddy, this is just a big toy, 
And there is nothing more fun than making noise.

 My sons, when I was a boy, I threw dirt clods 
And snow grenades stuffed with hidden rocks, and fought 
Enemies—other Indian boys—who thought, 

Like me, that joyful war turned us into gods.
