April 9th, 2013

4/9/13

In Class:
Journal--  Write a narrative from the perspective of the last _______________ on Earth. [Choose whatever noun you please.]

Poetry for the sake of poetry: "To This Day" by Shane Koyczan.

Revisited imagery by explicating "Harlem" and "Juke Box Love Song" by Langston Hughes, specifically focusing on the use of imagery and sensory language.

As a class, we visually explicated a photo using the five senses. Independently, each student explicated his or her own photo, then began writing a poem which integrates some of the noted sensory perceptions.

Homework:
Finish the imagery poem you began in class.
Read "Nancy Mairs on Finding a Voice."
Consider the significance of breathing.
