Please consider writing your first Novel with NaNoWriMo. This will count as a Semester Project and be such good practice! The Kick-off at the library is on Tuesday, if you are interested in working with a published author.
We will re-write Pantoum Poems on Monday.

We are on the way to our next published poem!
Today, Monday, October 22nd, we brainstormed about life events--learned how to narrow them down to specifics and began to write a PANTOUM: a poem with a very specific pattern (form).
The brainstorming and beginnings of our work are in our writing journals-- we will create a first draft tomorrow and turn it in. Happy Poeming!
