We did an introduction to poetry today; I showed a PowerPoint on types of figurative language and we looked at video examples (in music and movies). We also read and analyzed the poem "The Child Who Walks Backwards" by Lorna Crozier. The questions for this poem are due next class.
*Just a reminder: You will be presenting your PowerPoint presentations for the Independent Novel Study on Friday (I pushed back the date). Make sure to complete this at lunch or at homework club.
