Today we began work on a second free verse poem: the earthling parody poem. This poem, along with the fingerprint poem from last day, will be due sometime early next week.
Guest speaker Mr. John Campbell came into class today and spoke about the Klondike Gold Rush . He used that speech as a framework around poet Robert Service's famous 'Canadian' Poem, The Shooting of Dan McGrew, a poem which Mr. Campbell recited from memory to us.
I also gave out the marks for the Outsiders test we wrote a week ago.
Coming up. . . get ready for another novel study . . . mostly likely The Giver by Lois Lowry.
