Poetry

Students in English II are starting to learn about poetry.  Admittedly, poetry isn't my strongest area in the realm of English/Literature, but, to quote Lynyrd Skynyrd, "I know a little," and I'm going to share that knowledge.  After I've covered the content, the students will display their knowledge via a poster presentation. The students will analyze a song for poetic elements and will offer their own interpretation of the lyrical content.  Best of all, they get to share their music selection with the class.  Credit goes to Mr. Poggendorf for the poster presentation idea and to Miss Knox, my EIU practicum student last year who created the power points for the unit.
