This week, we are starting a new unit: Poetry!
As always, your homework every night is to read 10-30 minutes of your independent reading books. Be sure to take your new Lexile score into consideration, but, more than anything, read something that inspires you!
Monday: Decorate and create your vocabulary journal! Remember that you will need to turn in your vocabulary journal every Friday with 6 new vocabulary words, definitions, and example sentences. New vocabulary can come from any of your classes, textbooks, SSR book, movies, and/or a vocabulary-building app, such as Monkey in the Middle: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/middle-school-vocabulary-7th/id477296771?mt=8
Friday: Your vocabulary journals are due!
Today, you will write your own Ode to the Eagle Nebula (or space or the Hubble Telescope, etc.)
You must include:
• repetition
• similes
• metaphor
• at least 4 of your vocabulary words
Minimum 2 stanzas.
Consider the structure.
Capitalize the letter at the beginning of every line.
Illustrations and/or photographs are encouraged! The best will be displayed.
This is a summative assignment. Due Monday, Feb. 15.
