Book of Poems

**September's Project** - We will be learning about how to write poems this month, and compile everyone's poems into a digital book of poems.

**Each student will create four poems**. We will be experimenting using the following in our poems: rhyme, metaphor, simile, alleration, personification, repetition, exaggeration, hyperbole, onomatopoeia. Each student **must write** **four different types of poems and type them on the correct page in our class wiki**:


 * Week 1 - **Song** - a poem that expresses emotion and has verses and a chorus.
 * Week 2 - **Limmerick** - a poem that is funny and rhymes or a poem that makes no sense.
 * Week 3 - **Haiku** - a poem about nature or the one of the four seasons.
 * Week 4 - **Your Name** - each letter of your name will start one line in your poem and describe something about you, your likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. Use only your first name.

Each student will **read their classmates poems** and **enter the title and author of their favorite poem** on the **FAVORITE POEMS** page. Each student will **write 2 sentences on why they liked this poem.** Each student will 250 word essay on the **history** of where different types of poems orginated and post it on our History of Poems page. This will be due by the end of week four.

Each student will **watch the YouTube video** for fun.

**POETRY SLAM -** On Friday, September 30th at 1 pm we will have a poetry reading and refreshments.
