Do Now: What event is your poem about? Who are the characters?
Classwork:
1. Constructing your poem:
Start with the setting and add images that help the reader to "see" it.
Describe the first characters.
Explain the event.
End the poem with your feeling or message about life.
Grading guidelines: Use "The Legend" as your goal. That poem includes powerful images that set the tone and involve the reader. We can use our five senses to understand his shame and message about contemporary inner-city life.
2. "Sympathy" Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
Focus on the imagery in this poem to understand Dunbar's theme.
Homework: Your poem is due tomorrow. It is a wiki project. ( 100 points )
