In Class:
Journal-- Respond to the following quote:
“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.” - T.S. Eliot
GMX-- Commas to Separate Appositive Phrases
Define ‘appositive.’
Ex: Jason, the math teacher, is the wackiest exerciser at Prep.
My friend Jason likes to work out in a wacky fashion.
Add commas to the sentences which rename using appositives.
1) Lily the English teacher and Izzy the social studies teacher have class in Room 5 after we do.
2) I have been told that the stench in this room the odor of up to ten teenage boys can be overwhelming.
3) However, the brainpower of our class what is actually overwhelming is worth it.
Studied and discussed the genre of found poetry, reviewing models by instructor and Al Fogel.
Students identified sixteen lines from a chosen text, then began arranging and revising to create a found poem. (Word Mover is a fun tool for this.)
Exit Ticket: Who is the worst teacher you've ever had (outside of Boulder Prep)?
Homework:
Finish found poem.
Work on final project!
