This week we are exploring memory poems and working on the poetic devices that writers use to elevate the writing to create their art. You will write your own memory poems (yes, there will be more than one version) AND we will look to the famed poets and their memories for inspiration. We will also be exploring the challenges of structured (the sonnet, villanelle, haiku) and unstructured poetry (blackout, found). Don't forget about those WOW either (vocabulary building never stops. We are here to improve your conversations at parties. ) Woohoo!
