Collaborative Poetry: Sharing, Editing, Revising!


Warm up today will offer another opportunity to play with poetry and talk about revision. It always amazes me to see how uniquely each of us uses words.





I missed you all yesterday. Ms. Higgins said you had some questions about the Friar's garden, so we'll have to pick up there. We should be ready to dig into Act III today. Act II ended on such a sweet note with the two lovers getting married, but Act III finds the young guys of Verona out on the streets looking for action. The weather is hot and so are tempers, too. From this point in the play, things become even more complicated, and the pace of the play moves even faster.




Tomorrow we'll use the laptops again. We'll work on publishing the poetry we composed this week. Until then...can't wait. "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds..."

Ms.James i thought that doing that poem with the whole class today was really fun, and funny. we should do it with different topics and try it again. =)
