Tuesday, 26 February

We began class using fortune cookies as prompts.

Then each writer shared one of the poems that they completed for today.

After sharing and receiving feedback on that poem writers completed a self-evaluation that responds to the following:

1) Describe what you wanted to "say" or express in this poem.

2) What poetic elements or devices and styles did you focus on using and why did you choose these?

3) In what ways is your poem successful? Quote or provide specific examples and references.

4) In what ways could your poem be improved?

5) What changes did you make through the various drafts of your poem, whey did you make these?

6) Write a summary evaluation of your poem.

Writers turned in their poems and drafts.

On Thursday writers will read their second poem, and write a self-evaluation on that piece.
