New grading period--Start Sonnets

I turned in the grades. Many students did not complete the homework assignment and the assignments while the substitute teacher was here.

Most of the class time will be devoted to writing your sonnets. After you complete the first draft, have a classmate check it with the checklist.

Exit Quiz on Poetry Terms

Write down appropriate poetry term for the following definitions,

1. Praise poem (ode)
2. 14 lines of rhymed iambic pentameter (sonnet)
3. two lines that rhyme (couplet)
4. a group of lines; a paragraph in poetry (stanza)
5. four lines of poetry (quatrain)
