JOURNAL TOPIC:
1. Write a poem that no one will ever read. Make it no shorter than a Haiku and no longer than "Dover Beach".
2. Write a poem that you would be willing, if not proud, to show someone. Make it no shorter than a Haiku and no longer than 3 stanzas and/or 12 lines (total).
AGENDA:
1. Journal topic
2. Poetry 101: From "Dover Beach" to "Theme for English B"
3. Poets' Lounge
HW:
1. Post your notes and thoughts on today's class.
2. Find a poem that doesn't suck. Post it to your blog and explain why you think it doesn't suck. Even better, explain why you think it has something meaningful to say, and point out a moment in the poem when the author does something you think effectively gets that meaning across.
