Poetry

"Words, words, words..."
As part of your work in English 8 this year, you will complete a comprehensive poetry unit designed to help you not only read poetry better, but to think about it, write about it and even write some of your own. In the next few weeks you will read and discuss several poems in class, complete short written assignments on selected poems on the theme of nature, and produce a Poetry Notebook. This notebook will be a collection of poems you collect and analyse, digital images you will take while on the 8th grade overnight trip to Seoraksan, and poems on nature that you write using different poetic forms. I hope you enjoy this unit and the opportunities for creative literary expression that it is intended to provide.
