Liar!

Today you handed in your poem.
If you didn't, it's late, so that's unfortunate.
This weekend all you have to do is write a self evaluation for your poem.
Consider these questions as you write:
To what extent did you stick to your own criteria?
How fully do you feel the poem lives up to the assignment?
What challenges did you have in the composition of this piece?
Do you feel you learned anything about yourself while doing this poem.
How satisfied are you with the effort you put into this work?
If you were to do this again, what would you change?


Have a lovely weekend!

By Grace. Through Faith. Not works.

English 11, XI, E-LEV-EN!

Who said it and what the heck does it mean?!
It's time to show you understand what you've seen.
Call it a quiz, a test, or a fact-finding mission,
Your job for tomorrow is to supply a transmission
of knowledge from you (on paper) to me
and I'll be bummed to see anyone get less than a B.
So read up, brush up, study up and stay up
Do what ya gotta do, (couldn't hurt to pray up!)

See yesterday's post : )

"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed." MLK

You got a poem,
You got a lie,
You got homework.

Good bye to a month of long weekends

The effects of the king's murder leave no one safe,
As guilt wraps its tentacles, even Lady Mac begins to chafe.
Banquo's head is on the chopping block, we'll see how that goes,
Macbeth killing the Lord's anointed is just the start of his woes.
Very rarely do we get into the mind of a serial killer,
This ride is one heck of a physiological thriller!
Crack open your plays, read to the end of scene three,
and see if any more is fulfilled of the witches' prophecy.
And don't forget your poems that are based on a lie,
Drafts due Monday, bring your poetry game and stupify!


your commitment to a lie

Sun, how do I love thee, let me count the ways! (ahem, Apostrophe)

Today we had class out on the hilly lawn,
It was done, in part, to stifle a yawn
that sometimes happens when we study the bard
It goes without saying that sometimes he's hard.
But I tried a few things and maybe you were entertained,
Even if, it times, the hearing was strained.
As for tonight, the homework couldn't be lighter:
Finish 3 questions then we'll see if Banquo's a fighter.

So I wrote this yesterday : (

I posted this last night but posted it to "History"
Why I seem to often do this is a bit of a mystery...

You are taking some time to re-do your quiz, 

you're sprucing it up so you sound like a whiz,

Then you're moving along and starting the third act,

Read up to the top of page 69, as a matter of fact.
