Upcoming Assignments
Due:
Homework: Decorated Folders with 6 word poem
You will decorate your folder (which we will hang for the class to see) and put your work in it throughout the year. On your folder, include a 6 word poem about you.
A six-word poem tells a whole story using exactly six words. To write one, pick a big feeling or memory and cut out all the filler words until only the most powerful action words and nouns remain. You can use punctuation like periods or dashes to create dramatic pauses and surprise your reader.
15 points for a colorful and well organized folder
5 points for a poem that uses 6 words and tells us about you
