REMINDERS: Your choice of poet is due tomorrow.
We have a test on Monday on literary devices.
ClassworkFreewrite: "Is love without money or material possessions enough for you? Why or why not?"
List: Things you can give someone without using money.
Define: "lyric poem"
Read: "I Am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca in your textbook
Answer: What metaphors and similes does Baca use to describe his poem?
What is Baca's attitude toward love without money?
What does Baca leave out?
Begin writing your own lyric poem. It needs a refrain (like Baca's "I love you") and similes and/or metaphors.
Homework:
Read "Simile" in your textbook by N. Scott Momoday.
Write a short paragraph explaining the poem and the simile.
Finish your poem.

I really enjoyed reading Billy Collins' poem, "Sonnet". It was like little instructions on how to write a sonnet in a fun explanation.
