Poetry Blogging and Viewing

Today in class, you need to complete three tasks.
1. Be sure you completed the work from last time (see the blog entry below).
2. Create a new post; choose one of your synonym poems and post it to your blog.
3. Spend time viewing three of the animate poems at the site of Billy Collins. The link is below. As you view the poems, go beyond the visuals. Reflect on the poet's use of the literary devices we've discussed in class: alliteration, rhyme, rhyme scheme, perfect and near rhyme figurative language (metaphor, simile, personification), couplets/end rhymes, strong imagery (appeals to the senses).
