Friday, October 1, Editing, Sub / verb, metaphors

Objective: Today, we will practice grammar by editing and continuing to practice subject / verb agreement. We will review Langston Hughes', Mother to Son, make final analysis and determine the metaphor in the poem. You will then write your own metaphorical poem per the instructions provided.

Take out homework if not completed in class yesterday (letter)

Warm - up

1. Editing handout.

2. Subject / verb agreement.

3. Family metaphor poem. Use the sample poems as a guide to write your own metphorical poem about your own family. What would you compare your family to? What represents each person in your household and how do they contribute to your family? Stick with whatever theme (metaphor0 you begin with!

4. After I proof read your poem, rewrite onto clean paper and decorate or illustrate so it can be displayed.
