Starfish,
As you know, we've been reading poems for the past few weeks. This week, we will study different types of poems (concrete, narrative, rhyming, haiku) as well as different poetic elements (hyperbole, simile, metaphor, personification). Poetry can be challenging, but definitely worth the effort!
A common image that will pop up in all our poems this week is nature. We will suffer the cold with "Sam McGee", experience "Winter" with Nikki Giovanni, find ourselves "Washed in Silver", and splash around with a "Seal". These poems were inspired by images or elements of nature.
What things in nature do you find inspiring? What scenes would make you want to write a poem? Is it the smell of fresh cut grass? The feel of ocean waves crashing against your toes? The pink sky of a spring sunset? What images in nature make you feel poetic?
See you in class!

i think nature is inspiring because its real and gives you a better imagination about it
heyy!!! well im not much of a poem writer but if i were to write one about nature, i would describe all the little creatures that start coming out from hibernation, and about how the beautiful flowers start blooming for the first time of the year!- Lauren Delalastra15
