Poetry Analysis and Writing
Students will learn different types of figurative language to enhance their writing. Figurative language helps students to be more descriptive, creative, and detailed. We will also be analyzing poetry, photos, videos, songs, and advertisements. When students observe, make inferences, and dissect evidence, their writing becomes more interesting. Students will also be creating numerous writing/art pieces (poetry, essays) related to many diverse topics.
