We worked on our poetry portfolio project. Students will submit this project tomorrow in class or Monday if not able to complete it with the remaining class time given.

We completed our study of "Smokeroom on the Kyle" with a look at a news report and recitation of the poem by the Author's son. We also continued our experimentation with poetic forms and created poems to be used in our final poetry project.
We read and responded to the narrative poem "Smokeroom on the Kyle".
We reviewed the Mackelmore poem from last day and visited the library. When we returned to the classroom, we investigated poetic forms and generated some of our own original poetry.
