ELECTIVELIVING POETRY ELECTIVE
During the first 6 weeks of this elective class, students will look at the earliest history of poetry to present-day music lyrics. They will learn poetry terminology, rhythms, tone, and beat - looking at the more musical side of the written word.
The second 6 weeks will look at stories written in poetic format. Students will be guided to see that there is more to writing a poem than rhyme and cadence - there is more meaning than first impressions. The culminating project will require students to write their own story in poem format.
There will be no homework assigned in this elective class. The desire is that students spend their at-home hours doing work for thier core subject classes of science, history, math, and language arts.
