Today you are starting your Poetry unit. You will be given a yellow booklet with additional terminology that Alberta Learning expects that you will know by the end of your time here. Keep in mind that you need to also comprehend the terminology you've already been given and that ANY of these terms may be used in any of the units you will do. I'm just handing it out in smaller doses so you won't be overwhelmed.
You will also receive a reading explaining why poetry is important (which will be read in class) and a sheet explaining how poetry needs to be read in this class. You will then be given a short, two stanza excerpt from a poem to try your skills out.
By the end of the class, you need to have finished analyzing that excerpt (and have it handed in) and have the terminology you are familiar with highlighted so that you will know what you need to study.
