Last class Mrs. Wall was away. Students worked on their poetry slam performance poem. We read some notes on the performance poetry genre first.
Today, we warmed up with poetry inspired by children's poems. Then, we learned about a poetic form called the ghazal. It is Arabic in origin with a very strict structure. The couplets, which comprise the poem, jump from one image to the next. Students borrowed random items off the front table as a source of inspiration for their images. The ghazals are due on Wednesday along with a ready to recite slam poem.
