Reflective Writing #1 was collected. If you were absent and have not yet turned yours in, please be sure to do so upon your return.
Vocabulary Packet #8 was returned. We quickly talked about the answers. If you were absent, see me for your graded packet. The quiz over these words will be Tuesday, 1/24. The quiz will be multiple choice and will involve meaning, synonyms, and antonyms.
We read the poems Uphill, Summer, and Ecclesiastes. Uphill can be dowloaded and read here:

We reviewed the terms onomatopoeia, alliteration and rhyme and marked them as "musical" on the Poetry Terms Sheet.
Divide a piece of paper into Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. For each season, you will list ten words associated with that season; this will result in a total of 40 words. Each set of 10 should include the following: 3 words that rhyme, 3 words that have alliteration, 1 onomatopoeia, and 3 words of choice. Here is my example for winter. snow, cocoa, ho! ho! ho! (3 that rhyme), sledding, slippery, and snow (alliteration of S), whistle (onomatopoeia), and fireplaces, icicles, and mittens (3 free choice). You will make this kind of list for ALL FOUR SEASONS. This is due at the beginning of the period tomorrow.
We watched a music video and a film clip that related to today's poetry.
