If you did not get finished with your Pre-Writing from yesterday, spend about 15 minutes finishing that. IF YOU SPEND ANY LONGER, YOU WON’T GET THE POEMS DONE.

There will need to be two poems. I don’t care if you and your buddy write one each individually, or if you both write them together.

poems

Poem 1

  • Persuasive
  • 24 lines
  • 6 stanzas
  • Rhyming couplets
  • AABB Rhyme Scheme

Poem 2

  • Rejection of Poem 1
  • 24 lines
  • 6 stanzas
  • Rhyming couplets
  • AABB Rhyme Scheme

Make sure that when you turn your poem in, you let me know who your partner is so he/she can get credit as well.

We are using The Passionate Shepherd and The Nymph’s Reply as a model, so if you need to see what the poem should look like, go look at the poems we read yesterday.

We then watched the opening scene from Beauty and the Beast and compared/contrasted it with Beauty and the Beat, by Todrick Hall.

B&B

Then, we talked about the word pastoral and the related words naive, country, and provincial.

provincial

We then read and annotate the Passionate Shepherd and The Nymph’s Reply.

Here is poem 1.

Passionate Shepherd

We had a few students who I woo’d with promises of love and nature.

Walter Raleigh read that poem and thought it was ridiculous. Kinda like I thought when I first heard Bruno Mars’ “Grenade.” So he wrote a response:

nymph

Then, we partnered up with a buddy to do the Persuasion Partner Pre-Writing (Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4).

Here is my example that I did:

step 2Here are my ideas for what a mother might say to a teacher to try and convince her/him to pass her failing child:

step 3Here are my ideas as to how the teacher might respond to the parent:

 

step 4Try to get as many ideas as possible so that writing the poem tomorrow will be easy!

Did you guys know that Riley hates Bruno Mars’ song Grenade? She does.

She compared it to the poem “The Passionate Shepherd” get the notes from a  classmate.

Then we read “The Nymph’s Reply” – get the notes from a classmate.

We then partnered up and started the Come Hither, Go Away Pre-Writing. When youa re done, show it to Riley so she can give you credit for drafting.

Ok. Captain Riley is going to be bailing ship for a few days, so today is a “shut up and get all of your work done.”

Things to think about getting done:

  • Obituary
  • “Timed” Test
  • Partner Poems

Even though Riley will be gone, she still expects for you to get your work done. Treat the sub well and stay focused on your goal of graduation
