We completed some exercises on personification and then reviewed the limericks from last Tuesday. Many needed improvements here and there, which we worked on during class.
Ms. Ronemous was prodigiously surprised and feels extremely fortunate to have such wonderful students who continued to express birthday wishes throughout the day; a special thanks to Aubrey H for the beautiful poster, Nalani L for the card, and Katie S for the poem!
Homework:
Write a poem that incorporates personification. Desirable, but not mandatory, would be to write it in the form of a limerick.



Wednesday
Early Release - Special Schedule



Tuesday
Following up on yesterday's work on rhythm and rhyme in poetry, students practiced correctly dividing words into syllables before creating their own poem based on their phone number (each number indicated the amount of syllables in that line).
We then read some examples of Limericks on the overhead, practicing the meter and end rhymes, followed by the Instant Limerick w/s.
The best two limericks each student created from the template were to be copied into their composition notebook.
Homework:
Write an original limerick, being careful to keep the correct meter and end rhyme (use "A lady wile dining in Crewe" as a model to help with the correct cadence). Due Thursday.
Study vocab, literary terms, roots, parts of speech, etc.




Monday
New Latin Root (stat); test next Tuesday.
Shared Howling for Justice responses from Friday.
Began our introduction to poetry with w/s 16 and 15: Rhythm and Rhyme. Practiced writing free-verse and metered versions, and identifying end and internal rhyme patterns.
Homework:
Study vocab, literary terms, roots, parts of speech, etc.
