//Ok...today we'll be starting Poetry. This unit has particular imprtance to me. I hope some of you get beyond your phobia and fear of poetry and learn to sound your barbaric yawp over the rooftops of __your__ world.

Calm down, it's not that bad. Sadly, however, we will need to start with a few comprehension notes so we're all speaking the same language. The good news is that I'm going to let you make your own notes based on the document below. Much of it will be information you have heard earlier in the year, but some of it is new. There will be a quiz on it (mainly on definitions and rhyme scheme).



If you still have time, please try [|this website] for an activity with magnetic poetry. A poetry peppermint for anybody who stands up to present their poem in front of class.//
