Here is the Poetry Slide for today's instruction.
Go to the 7th slide. Create your first poem called a concrete poem. Slide 7 has a video and instructions.
If you look behind the book on my music stand, you will see a copy of some student's poems from last term.

Do not reveal the jury's findings until tomorrow.
As for today, your poetry assignment #2 is to write a poem based on a lie.
The composition of this poem is based on your own criteria.
For example, when we wrote "I'm Not the ___ You had in mind", you had to write a 40 line poem of rhyming couplets and include at least 3 poetic devices.
For this poem, you create your own restrictions.
The only requirement is that it is at least 14 lines. So you can say something like:
1. My poem will be 20 lines
2. My poem will be free verse (or 5 stanzas of 4 lines with ABAB rhyme scheme).
3. My poem will use 4 poetic devices: 1 metaphor, 1 simile, 1 alliteration, 1 allusion
4. My poem will expose a lie (or perpetuate a lie or explain why I lied)
It's entirely up to you. That is the challenge and hopefully, the fun of this next poem.
So again, state how many lines your poem will have, what type of rhyme scheme it will have, which and how many poetic devices you will use and what type of lie your poem will be about. I will grade your poem according to how well you stick to your criteria. Choose carefully, sometimes making something that you think will be an easy criteria can create it own challenges, too.
Hand the criteria in by the end of the class (and take a pic for yourself)
