1. Read and discuss today's poem:
"East Bronx" by David Ignatow
Practice "synthesis": What's the "big idea" behind the details?
2. Advice for revising your "Poetry Poker" poems
Take out your rough draft and I will ask you several revision questions.
Think about what could make your poem better.
Now switch poems with at least two other people and get their feedback.
A typed, edited final copy is due tomorrow.
3. Lesson and Assignment:
"Principal Parts of Irregular Verbs" (handout)
Use Write for College and the dictionary as resources.
Write your answers on a separate piece of paper, not on the handout.
Due at the end of the period.
4. Do SSR when you finish the "Principal Parts" exercise.
