I gave a new seating chart. If you were absent, see me for your new seat assignment.
We took the Vocabulary #8 Quiz. You can come make that up before school, during ASE (caution: my ASE is loud), or during 4th or 5th lunch. I am not available 3rd or 6th. You could also take it right after school this Thursday 1/26. (I am not available after school on Wed. or Fri.)
I gave a Review Sheet for the Poetry Test, which will be this Friday, January 27th. If you were absent, you can see me for a copy or download one here:

We read these poems and discussed the literary techniques found in each. The page numbers are both for the class set of books in my room and for the issued textbook you should have at home. You must read these poems for makeup work, if you were absent, and do so before Friday's test. If it is not in your issued textbook, I have posted the poem here for you to read.

I gave this definition of perfect rhyme to be added to your Poetry Terms sheet.
Perfect Rhyme - A perfect rhyme - also called a full rhyme, exact rhyme, or true rhyme - is when the latter part of the word or phrase is identical sounding to another. A perfect rhyme begins with a different sound and ends with the same.
Examples: pie/ die like/bike fed/bed name/game hope/cope book/look
I answered any remaining questions about the Poetry Search, which is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, January 26th for a major grade. If you need access to a Lassiter computer to finish this project, you can come to me before school or during ASE. You can also come during 4th or 5th lunch. There is also the option of getting a Media Center Pass during your lunch period.
