11/7 and 11/8

Today in class we:

• Practiced delivering our poem for Poetry Out loud
• Used the "it says, it means, it matters" method of exploring a poem
• Began work on applying the method to our own poem

• For homework: Bring your collateral reading book next class (and keep reading it!), complete the "it says, it means, it matters" chart for your poem, memorize another section of your poem.

Remember that the poem needs to be memorized by 11/14 and delivered on 11/21 or 11/22
