Creative Assignments:



Work on writing, revising, typing:

1. write 3 poems that use the list of 20 words from the first poetry packet

2. write 2 sonnets, written in any style (see Shakespeare, Mullen, Berrigan sonnets from P. Packet 2); you can write about anything, use the sonnet examples for help in getting some ideas...

Watch the syllabus for when the poems are due to turn in. 

Also, remember to post on the blog: write about any of the poems from Poetry Packet 2 that you have not written on already.
