What's Going on in Reading?

The first few weeks of third quarter have been very busy in Reading class.  We've started a new unit on poetry, and the students have been exposed to many different types and styles of poems.  They have written concrete and haiku poems, practiced identifying rhyme schemes and learned about figurative language and sound devices.  Students also took time to look through collections of poetry to find a poem that truly spoke to them. We will be doing some analysis of these poems as well as comparing the poems to the poems chosen by your student's peers.
