Poetry Unit

Share a sentence or two about what you plan to write on our class discussion page. For example: I plan on sharing excerpts from my coronavirus journal. I'm looking for entries that reveal patterns or just get at some of the everyday weirdness and normalcy. I might model the structure on Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. You all have such awesome ideas for this closing assignment! I'm really looking forward to reading/watching/listening what you come up with. On our assignment chart, you'll find links to a document where you can post the piece and/or share some parting words.

Look over the guidelines for the connections paragraphs . Post a connection you noticed between poets or poems on our class discussion page. Hello, 9Hers! Just a quick note to say how proud I am of you all and the work you've done on your poetry projects. You're teaching each other (and me) so much! To paraphrase poet Kenneth Rexroth on the influence of great poetry: it can make us better people, more "sensitive perceiving organisms," and - perhaps - better poets ourselves! Keep up the great work!
