Learning Target: We can recognize what makes a poetic voice distinctive
Today we'll spend about half of class discussing the three poems I assigned by Joy Harjo. These poems are not from the one cycle, but there are connections that clearly show they are from the same person. We'll talk about these as well as breakdown the poem on our three levels using our workshop prep sheet.
The rest of the time will be for you to apply some of these lessons to your own work.
Homework due Wednesday, October 28th
Keep working on your poems. Make sure you have Journal # 7 done (listed under Student Resources)
