February 24th

Today we annotated poems together using a "chalk talk" strategy. I'll post the images below.
Your homework is to select a poem to annotate (any poem/song that you enjoy) and annotate it.

January 3rd and 4th

Today you handed in a constructed response, and we read On the Amtrack from Boston to New York City.
Your homework is to write a piece using sensory detail. We'll be turning them into poems. It needs to have some emotional connection to you.
