Random Acts of Poetry!!

Welcome to our class blog!  You may have been "poemed" today by one of the members of our class.  We would love to get some feedback on what the poem meant to you and what being "poemed" did for your day!

Please leave a comment with the title of the poem and your thoughts!

Thanks again for visiting our blog and we hope you have an amazing day!

What an assembly! What a great day for Reynolds and for all those involved in the Cops for Cancer fundraising.

The task this weekend is simple and set to allow you to get into your reading and to get into commenting on the blog. In your responses, please follow all the formats and expectations that you normally would if you were submitting a paper for assessment (i.e. proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.).

Task


Read 20 pages of your novel this weekend.  From your reading, choose the passage (from one sentence to a paragraph) that you wish you had written.  It could be beautiful in its descriptive nature, startling in its word choice, or just amazing to you. Please include the passage in the comments and, in turn, make a comment on why you have chosen this passage to share. Please include relevant information as well (Title of the novel and page number of the passage) so others can have context for your passage.

Please email me for clarification, should you need it.
