Day 5
Turned in vocab packet, took vocab quiz.
You turned in your three "haiku" poems.
First period there was a fire drill; we talked about concrete poems, and you were given a giant poetry worksheet packet. YES you have to keep it, do not lose it because I cannot make any copies.
Your homework is to read the “Rhythm & Meter” page, and do the practice on the opposite page “Syllables, Feet & Meter.”
Remember; stressed syllables get a slash line / and unstressed syllables get a U (u for uuuunstressed). A stress is when your inflection goes up in a word. So LAP TOP is two syllables; stressed stressed. But a word like Criminal is three syllables; stressed, unstressed unstressed.
