Book Projects, Poetry and a quiz!

Please come in and take the quiz if you were absent--  We took it on Wednesday in fifth period and Friday in eighth period--it involves reading a short story and a poem and writing about them in ways that show that you understand about plot structure and what sensory imagery can do for a poem.

We spent time in the computer lab on our book projects in period eight, and period five started the assignment for Monday:
Poetic Techniques in Practice:
Read this poem-- copy it down, line for line so as to become familiar with its structure-- the line breaks, the quote at the beginning, the sound devices, etc.
Read the prose poem on the second page for context about political poetry and El Salvador in particular. notice: powerful word choice
Notate evidence of the vocabulary words at the bottom of the first poem on your own copy (print it out) of this poem:
Submersible
Vocab words: enjambment, epigraph, lines, stanza, alliteration, onomatopoeia.
