Hello Everyone!
It was a much more lively class yesterday. Thanks to everyone who showed up and participated in the class discussions. Sorry to Morgan and Jessica who didn't get a chance to present. You'll get first go on Tuesday.
HOMEWORK FOR NOVEMBER 3, 2009
1 ****WRITE A 10 LINE POEM, with 10 syllables per line (5 beats). If you weren't in class yesterday, read the section on the sonnet in the book to better understand how syllables per line work. (Two syllables make up a beat.) To make it easier (trust me it will make it easier) below is a list of words that I'd like you to use in the poem. For example, the first line of your poem should contain the word 'fire;' the second line 'do,' third line 'far' etc. Give this a try. Just start writing and let the words and images flow. Also, this does not have to rhyme. Do not try to rhyme if it doesn't come to you naturally. My favorite poems do not rhyme. The only requirements are that your poem have ten lines and ten syllables per line.
Here are the words for each line:
POEM ASSIGNMENT
1, FIRE
2, DO
3, FAR
4, RISE
5, LOVE
6, STAND
7, APART
8, TAKE
9, HILLS
10, ROSES
Still confused? Email me at lcupolo@gmail.com
2, Read the poems for Tuesday's class (at left). Make notes in your journals about meaning, meter (that means the set up of the stanzas and the lines and beats per line), and imagery/metaphor.
The rain continues to be gruesome today but it will brighten up tomorrow. Hope you have a horrific and happy Halloween! Be safe!
